Clinical Cardiology and Cardiovascular Research (CCCR) publishes clinical and translational studies across the full range of cardiovascular medicine, from heart failure, arrhythmia and coronary artery disease to preventive cardiology, cardiovascular imaging and outcomes after cardiac surgery. Its readers include general and subspecialty cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular nurses and researchers who translate mechanistic findings into patient care. The journal welcomes original research, systematic reviews, narrative reviews, case reports and short communications, and particularly values work that links physiological insight to measurable clinical outcomes.
Manuscripts undergo double-blind peer review, with statistical review for studies whose conclusions depend on complex analyses, and editors expect adherence to recognized reporting guidelines and prospective registration of clinical trials. All content is published open access under the Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY 4.0) license, so that clinicians everywhere can read and reuse it. Articles are released under continuous publication as soon as they are accepted and edited, and are then grouped into numbered issues.
