Guidelines in cardiovascular research, a first for the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.

A critical look at cardiovascular translational research.

Update on innovative initiatives for the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.

WE WOULD LIKE TO UPDATE the readership of the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology on the progress we have made in instituting the plan we laid out two years ago when we assumed the editorship of this venerable journal. We have expanded the content and features of the journal and have further enhanced the review process. Our time for manuscript review is an impressive...

Adiponectin and cardiovascular disease: state of the art?

The cardiometabolic syndrome, associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk in the industrialized world, is estimated to affect one in four adults. Although the mechanisms linking obesity and cardiovascular disease remain unclear, research continues to unravel the molecular pathways behind this pandemic. Adipose tissue has emerged as a metabolically active participant in mediating vascu...
