Since its launch in 2004, Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine has been providing physicians with easy to read, timely and authoritative interpretations of the key research developments in cardiology. We scan the top original research journals, providing commentary and highlighting the best research so you don't have to.

As Editor-in-Chief, I am pleased to announce the launch of our new -Clinical Research- section. By adding outstanding original research to the latest review content, we can now provide everything you need to keep up to date with advances in the field.

We plan to publish our first -Clinical Research- in 2008 and we are now calling on your valued support. Most importantly, we need submissions! Our aim is for the original research to focus, although not exclusively, on three main areas:

* The development of new technologies or methodologies that improve understanding of cardiovascular disease or impact on diagnosis or management

* New information on clinical outcomes and economics from clinical trials

* New approaches to promote cardiovascular health

There are many benefits to authors who choose to publish in Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine:

* We promise a fast turnaround and aim to provide authors with an initial decision within 1 week of submission, and a final decision within 8 weeks of submission

* When appropriate, we will commission accompanying
* Clinical Context commentaries from experts in the field, to put the findings into clinical context
