Abstract
The birth of a new journal is usually a cause for singular rejoicing and anticipation. On this occasion, however, the moment is steeped in melancholy with the recent passing of Professor Avijit Lahiri, the journal’s founder. He lived life to the full. Avijit touched countless friends and colleagues with his support, kindness and mentorship. At the same time, he was a pioneer in cardiodiabetes, an excellent clinician and an outstanding academic mind. In short, he was a trailblazer. His accomplishments are too numerous to list but ranged from playing the key role in the development of nuclear cardiac imaging as well as being a Founder President of the International Congress of Nuclear Cardiology to the creation of the British Cardiac Research Trust. He introduced cardiac CT to the UK and contributed to practice-changing guideline committees on cardiac imaging in diabetes.
