Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Hellenic Journal of Cardiology publishes research on cardiovascular disease prevention, diagnosis, and management. Articles focus on risk assessment models, including the development and application of tools like HellenicSCORE II+ and machine learning platforms for predicting cardiovascular risk in specific populations. The journal also covers inherited myocardial disorders such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, the role of artificial intelligence in diagnosis, and the characteristics and outcomes of patients with cardiovascular admissions, including those with hematological cancers. Research on cardiac intensive care units, pericarditis management, coronary artery anomalies, and the impact of dietary factors like ultra-processed foods on cardiovascular health are also featured.
