This journal focuses on cardiac surgery, including procedures for valve replacement and repair, coronary artery bypass grafting, and treatment of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. It covers topics such as postoperative complications like atrial fibrillation, bleeding, and cognitive dysfunction, as well as the use of advanced technologies like machine learning and 3D printing in surgical planning and risk assessment. The journal also examines outcomes related to specific patient populations and conditions, including end-stage heart failure, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and infective endocarditis.
