Aims & Scope

Nature Reviews Cardiology's clinical, translational and basic science content is written by internationally renowned clinicians, academics and researchers and is targeted to readers in the biological and medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practising doctors and research scientists working in the cardiovascular field, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any biological or medical discipline. In-depth, narrative Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Consensus Statements, Evidence-based Guidelines, Expert Recommendations and Roadmaps provide evidence-based recommendations from a task force of experts. Topical discussion and opinions are given in Perspectives, Comment, Clinical Outlook and News & Views articles. In the Research Highlights section, we filter primary research from a range of cardiovascular and general medical journals.
