Heart, Lung and Circulation
The Official Journal of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Cardiac and Thoracic Surgeons, and The Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.
Heart, Lung and Circulation publishes articles integrating clinical and research activities in the fields of basic cardiovascular science, clinical cardiology and cardiac surgery, with a focus on emerging issues in cardiovascular disease. The journal promotes multidisciplinary dialogue between cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardio-pulmonary physicians and cardiovascular scientists.
The journal accepts original articles, current reviews, brief communications, and letters to the Editor, concerned with clinical practice and research in all fields of cardiovascular disease. The journal particularly invites submissions concerned with the issues of cardiovascular ageing, indigenous cardiovascular health, devices, tissue repair and replacement.
