Abstract

The European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging was launched in 2012 and has during these 9 years become one of the leading multimodality cardiovascular imaging journals. The journal is currently ranked as number 20 among all cardiovascular journals. Our journal is well established as one of the top cardiovascular journals and is the most important cardiovascular imaging journal in Europe. The most important studies published in our Journal in 2020 will be highlighted in two reports. Part I of the review will focus on studies about myocardial function and risk prediction, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging, while Part II will focus on valvular heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, and congenital heart disease.

Highlights

  • The multimodality European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging has successfully transitioned from an exclusive echocardiographic journal 2 years ago

  • Evaluation of coronary stents by CT coronary angiography (CTCA) remains challenging because partial volume or blooming artefacts from the highly attenuated stent struts cause problems for the delineation of the coronary stent lumen

  • Obesity is associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), but the relationships between body mass index (BMI) and conventional risk factors that often co-exist with obesity are complex

Summary

Introduction

The multimodality European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging has successfully transitioned from an exclusive echocardiographic journal 2 years ago. The journal serves as an important resource for general cardiologists, specialists in all imaging modalities, and other physicians working in the field of cardiovascular imaging. We highlight the most important studies that were published in the journal in 2013. Part I is focused on studies in myocardial function, myocardial ischaemia, and emerging techniques in cardiovascular imaging
