P-ISSN: 1530-6550

E-ISSN: 2153-8174

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine (RCM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing review papers, research articles, short communications, and other type articles on cardiovascular medicine as well as research on cardiovascular disease, including clinical, translational, and basic studies. We aim to provide a forum for publishing papers that explore the pathogenesis and progression of cardiac and vascular diseases, as well as their prevention, diagnosis, management strategies, and patient outcomes, to serve the discipline development and knowledge dissemination in the field of cardiovascular medicine.
