FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP & WORLD HEART FEDERATION ANNOUNCE NEW JOURNAL
COLLABORATION
London, Geneva and New York, April 21, 2006 -- The World Heart
Federation, in partnership with Nature Publishing Group (NPG), is proud
to add Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine as an Official
Publication. The World Heart Federation (WHF) is a global NGO dedicated
to the prevention and control of heart disease and stroke. It is a
membership organization that brings together the strength of the medical
community with the public health community. One of the main WHF
objectives is to share the latest thinking in cardiology.
Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine is the second official
publication of the Federation, and includes developments in all
sub-specialties that have practical application to diagnosis and
treatment options. Prevention and Control, the other journal of the
Federation provides a forum for dialogue and education on prevention and
control of cardiovascular disease worldwide, with a special focus on low
and middle income countries. "With the addition of the Nature Journal
to our set of publications we are able to offer an additional platform
to improve patient care as well as to stimulate community action," said
Dr. Sidney Smith, Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board of the World
Heart Federation.
Launched in November 2004, Nature Clinical Practice Cardiovascular
Medicine has current World Heart Federation President, Valentin Fuster,
MD PhD, as the Editor-in-Chief. The journal provides the practicing
physician with a comprehensive overview of the most up-to-date
literature relevant to the diagnosis and management of patients with
cardiovascular disease. Published in print and online, each monthly
issue includes editorial and opinion pieces, highlights from current
literature, commentaries on the application of recent research to
practical patient care, comprehensive reviews, and in-depth case
studies. See http://www.nature.com/ncpcardio.
As an official publication of the World Heart Federation, Nature
Clinical Practice Cardiovascular Medicine provides members and national
affiliates with authoritative and timely interpretations of key
developments in medical research, translating the latest findings into
clinical practice.
The publishers of both World Heart Federation journals are involved in
initiatives that support the communication of scientific research in the
developing world. They are part of the World Health Organization's
HINARI, the Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative, which
provides free access to public institutions in developing countries.
