The American Heart Association (AHA) and Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) are launching a new peer-reviewed journal, Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology.
The online-only, open-access journal is scheduled to begin publishing on a bi-monthly basis by early 2021. According to a statement, its focus will be the “interventional, endovascular, medical and surgical management of stroke and vascular disease of the brain, spinal cord, and head and neck.”
“The field of vascular and interventional neurology is growing rapidly, we are learning more every day about the incredible complexities of the cerebrovascular system—new techniques to diagnose and treat while improving outcomes, quality of life and length of life,” said Mitchel S. V. Elkind, MD, MS, AHA president and a professor of neurology and epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City. “It is critical that we empower and inform clinicians and researchers with this invaluable journal—so they are able to improve patient care and outcomes. Patients are relying on us to help them live longer and healthier lives.”
“This journal will be an important platform for researchers and clinicians focused on vascular care and innovations in new procedures and treatments to share their findings,” added David S. Liebeskind, MD, SVIN president and director of the UCLA Stroke Center in Los Angeles.
The publisher of Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology will be John Wiley & Sons.
