This is the official journal of The Japanese Circulation Society.
―Greetings From the Editor-in-Chief
Dear Colleagues,
Thank you very much for your submission to
Circulation Reports, an official Journal of the Japanese Circulation
Society.
Since the internet is now the most powerful
tool for publication and exchange of opinions, we make Circulation Reports into an on-line only, Open Access journal.
Today, researchers in cardiology require new
methods and analyses from medical engineering, medical informatics, and medical
economics, besides the conventional physiology, pharmacology, molecular biology
and epidemiology. To prevent cardiovascular diseases, nutrition, exercise, team
medicine, healthcare systems, social medicine and comprehensive management of
cardiovascular risk factors are important.
Circulation Reports considers all types
of original research articles, including studies in these new areas, related to
cardiovascular diseases. I hope that Circulation Reports will serve as a forum
to discuss the tasks and problems in cardiovascular medicine and research by
accepting statements and opinions from physicians and non-physicians.
The editorial team of Circulation Reports
looks forward to receiving a wide range of manuscripts from all over the world.
Masataka Sata, MD, PhD.
