JACC-Cardiovascular Interventions
Scope & Guideline
Connecting Research and Practice in Cardiovascular Medicine
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Transcatheter Valve Interventions:
This area covers innovations and outcomes related to transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve repair/replacement, and tricuspid valve interventions, showcasing techniques like edge-to-edge repair and valve-in-valve procedures. - Coronary Intervention Techniques:
Research in this scope addresses the development and optimization of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), including the use of drug-coated balloons, stent technologies, and techniques for chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization. - Cardiovascular Imaging and Guidance:
This focus area emphasizes the role of imaging modalities such as intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and computed tomography (CT) in guiding interventional procedures and assessing outcomes. - Clinical Outcomes and Risk Assessment:
This scope includes studies on the prognostic implications of various interventions, patient selection criteria, and risk models for patients undergoing interventional procedures, particularly in high-risk groups. - Transcatheter Therapies for Structural Heart Disease:
Research on the application of transcatheter techniques for structural heart disease management, including edge-to-edge repairs and valve replacements in various anatomical and pathological contexts. - Innovative Technologies and Devices:
The journal highlights the development of novel devices and technologies, including new stent designs, delivery systems, and adjunctive therapies aimed at improving procedural safety and effectiveness.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of Artificial Intelligence:
There is a growing interest in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for predicting outcomes, guiding interventions, and personalizing treatment plans, indicating a technological shift in cardiology. - Minimally Invasive Techniques:
Research focusing on minimally invasive procedures, particularly in the context of transcatheter interventions, is on the rise, reflecting a broader trend towards reducing patient morbidity. - Patient Selection and Personalized Medicine:
There is an increasing emphasis on the importance of personalized medicine in interventional cardiology, with studies exploring how specific patient characteristics influence treatment outcomes. - Use of Novel Biomarkers:
Emerging research is focusing on new biomarkers for predicting patient outcomes and guiding therapy, indicating a trend towards more tailored cardiovascular interventions. - Comprehensive Assessment of Valve Disease:
An increased focus on the comprehensive assessment of valve disease, including multi-valve involvement and the integration of various treatment modalities, is becoming more prominent in recent publications.
Declining or Waning
- Conventional Surgical Techniques:
There is a noticeable decline in research focused on traditional surgical techniques for valve replacements, as the field moves towards less invasive transcatheter approaches. - Long-term Outcomes of Older Devices:
As newer technologies and devices gain prominence, studies focusing on older devices and their long-term outcomes are becoming less frequent, indicating a shift towards evaluating contemporary solutions. - Basic Cardiovascular Physiology Studies:
Research that purely focuses on basic cardiovascular physiology without direct application to interventional techniques is less frequently represented, as the emphasis shifts towards clinical applications and outcomes. - Single-Center Studies:
There seems to be a decline in single-center studies, as multicenter and larger registry studies are preferred for their robustness and generalizability. - Generic Comparisons of Antiplatelet Therapies:
Comparative studies on generic antiplatelet therapies are less common as more complex, individualized approaches to treatment emerge, prioritizing patient-specific factors.
