The American Heart Association, the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology and John Wiley & Sons announced the launch of Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, a new peer-reviewed, open access journal.
“We’re excited to be launching Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology in collaboration with the American Heart Association. This journal will be an important platform for researchers and clinicians focused on vascular care and innovations in new procedures and treatments to share their findings,” David S. Liebeskind, MD, FAHA, FAAN, FWSO, FSVIN, president of the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology, director of the UCLA Stroke Center and professor of neurology at the University of California, Los Angeles, said in a press release.
The journal is expected to begin publishing later in 2021 and will be posted bimonthly and online-only, with all articles published under open access. According to the release, the journal will include reports on clinical, translational and basic science research on interventional, endovascular, medical and surgical management of stroke and vascular disease of the brain, spinal cord, and head and neck.
Submissions of research, images, video illustrations, case reports, innovative techniques, angiographic anatomy, clinicopathological correlation, medical devices, technical advances and review papers will also be considered for the journal, according to the release.
“The field of vascular and interventional neurology is growing rapidly, we are learning more every day about the incredible complexities of the cerebrovascular system — new techniques to diagnose and treat while improving outcomes, quality of life and length of life,” Mitchell S.V. Elkind, MD, MS, FAAN, FAHA, professor of neurology and epidemiology at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, chief of the division of neurology clinical outcomes research and population sciences in the department of neurology at Columbia University and president of the AHA, said in the release. “It is critical that we empower and inform clinicians and researchers with this invaluable journal — so they are able to improve patient care and outcomes.
