Nature Cardiovascular Research

Cardiovascular disease causes one-third of deaths worldwide and represents an urgent threat to global health. The scientific, clinical, pharmacological and public health communities have coordinated efforts to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure cardiovascular disease. This important mission depends upon advances in our understanding of the aetiology, molecular mechanisms and socioeconomic factors driving and affecting the disease. Nature Cardiovascular Research aims to serve this multidisciplinary community by providing a unifying publishing platform that will champion and disseminate original and important advances in basic, translational, clinical and public health research in cardiovascular biology and haematology. The journal will also serve as a forum for raising challenging questions and exchanging new concepts and ideas, which will inspire and stimulate future research directions.
