Submission closing: Specialty Chief Editor's Collection on Non-Invasive Cardiovascular Imaging

Submissions close 30 May 2026—last call to join the collection curated by Sebastian Kelle, our Specialty Chief Editor for Cardiovascular Imaging, spanning AI diagnostics, genetics, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, and prevention

Polyvascular Imaging for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction

Submit your work on polyvascular imaging across multiple arterial beds—combining carotid, coronary, femoral, and aortic imaging with AI and biomarkers for enhanced cardiovascular risk prediction. Deadline 15 October 2026.

Reimagining cardiac rehabilitation: lessons from history for a post‑MI future

Explore how cardiac rehabilitation evolved from strict bed rest to modern post‑MI care. Julie Redfern (University of Sydney) and Tom Briffa (University of Western Australia) trace its history and outline how programs must modernize for today’s patients

eBook of the month

Calcification is no longer a bystander. This eBook maps cardiovascular calcification across its clinical phenotypes—from coronary arteries to heart valves—and highlights emerging diagnostic tools and therapeutic targets.

When loop diuretics stop working: how to fight back against diuretic resistance

One in three heart failure patients fails to decongests despite aggressive diuretics. This review unpacks the mechanisms — from tubular adaptation to chloride depletion — and maps a phenotype-tailored playbook for cardiorenal syndrome.
