Aims & Scope

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging is one of a family of specialist journals launched by the renowned Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC). It provides readers with a broad, balanced view of all aspects of cardiovascular imaging and includes original clinical research on non-invasive and invasive imaging techniques including echocardiography, CT, CMR, nuclear, optical imaging, and cine-angiography. Advances in basic science and molecular imaging which are likely to substantially influence the clinical practice of medicine in the next decade (in diagnostic performance, understanding of the athogenetic basis of the disease, and therapy) are also featured. Other content will emphasize imaging for the practicing cardiologist, advocacy and practice management, and state-of-the-art reviews.
