Changes to the editorial board: new co-editor for EHJ.

Abstract

All correspondence relating to this article should be sent to cardiopulse@unicatt.it. Marco Roffi, MD, is professor of medicine, vice-chair of cardiology, and director of the Interventional Cardiology Unit at the University Hospitals of Geneva, Switzerland. Following training in interventional cardiology with Bernard Meier at the University Hospital of Bern, Switzerland, and with Eric Topol at the Cleveland Clinic, United States, he worked alongside Thomas Lüscher in Zurich, Switzerland. He has been a member of the international editorial board of EHJ since 2013 and has held a wide range of roles across the ESC working to ensure the Society’s reach, authority, and impact (Figure 1). Filippo Crea created a team of EHJ co-editors with the task of being EHJ ambassadors across the continents. The purpose is to approach cardiologists from all over the world and introduce them to the Journal. The fact that EHJ is one of the leading cardiovascular journals worldwide may be a barrier to many cardiologists, especially for the younger generation. My job as EHJ co-editor for Western Europe will be to try to reduce the barriers in this part of the world. On behalf of the EHJ leadership, I would like to take the opportunity to thank William Wijns, who preceded me in this function, for all his work.
