Journal of Veterinary Cardiology

The Official Journal of the European Society of Veterinary Cardiology (ESVC) and endorsed and supported by the Cardiology specialty of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and of the European College of Veterinary Internal Medicine

The mission of the Journal of Veterinary Cardiology is to publish peer-reviewed reports of the highest quality that promote greater understanding of cardiovascular disease, and enhance the health and well being of animals and humans. The Journal of Veterinary Cardiology publishes original contributions involving research and clinical practice that include prospective and retrospective studies, clinical trials, epidemiology, observational studies, and advances in applied and basic research.

The Journal invites submission of original manuscripts. Specific content areas of interest include heart failure, arrhythmias, congenital heart disease, cardiovascular medicine, surgery, hypertension, health outcomes research, diagnostic imaging, interventional techniques, genetics, molecular cardiology, and cardiovascular pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology.

A unique aspect of the Journal of Veterinary Cardiology is the emphasis of additional web-based images permitting the detailing of procedures and diagnostics that previously were limited with still figures. These images can be viewed (by those readers with subscription access) by going to http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/17602734. The issue to be viewed is clicked and the available PDF and image downloading is available via the 'Summary Plus' link. The supplementary material for a given article appears at the end of the page. Downloading the videos may take several minutes. Another means to view the material is to go to http://www.doi.org and enter the doi number unique to this paper (given at the foot of the 1st page of each published article).
