Circulation Journal publishes research on cardiovascular diseases, focusing on diagnostic methods, prognostic markers, and treatment efficacy. Articles explore advanced imaging techniques like optical coherence tomography (OCT) and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for assessing coronary and pulmonary artery lesions. The journal also investigates the role of biomarkers and electrophysiological parameters in predicting outcomes for conditions such as heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and pulmonary embolism. Research includes the application of artificial intelligence in electrocardiography and the impact of interventions like pulsed-field ablation.
