Aims and scope
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe. Cardiovascular emergencies are life threatening disorders that require prompt and effective diagnosis and treatment to reduce the risk of fatal complications or death. This special issue of Intensive Care Research is designed to highlight the most recent development in the prevention, diagnosis and management of cardiovascular emergencies from bench to bedside. Although emphasis will be on clinical studies or clinical trials, state of the art experimental studies on cardiovascular emergencies will also be considered.
Main topics and quality control
This issue will cover all areas of cardiovascular emergencies, such as acute coronary syndrome, acute heart failure, cardiopulmonary arrest, arrhythmias, hypertension emergencies, and aortic dissection. We welcome clinical and experimental studies or concise reviews on the prevalence, pathophysiology, diagnosis, pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment (e.g. device, catheter based techniques or surgeries) of these disorders. Papers on healthcare policies or clinical guidelines designed to improve the outcomes of patients will also be considered.
Full papers or concise reviews will be subject to a strict review procedure for final selection to this special issue based on the following criteria:
- Quality and originality of the submitted studies or reviews.
- Relevance to the topics of the special issue.
- Clinical applications of experimental or laboratory studies.
