Global Heart

Journal Title：Global Heart

Global Heart offers a forum for dialogue and education on research, developments, trends, solutions and public health programs related to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) worldwide, with a special focus on low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent CVDs and the underlying factors. The emphasis should be on approaches applicable in settings with limited resources.

Economic evaluations of successful interventions are particularly welcome. We will also consider negative findings if important. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments are not excluded, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, we give priority to papers addressing community-based activities. We encourage submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations related to prevention.

Global Heart is particularly interested in publishing data from updated national or regional demographic health surveys, World Health Organization or Global Burden of Disease data, large clinical disease databases or registries. Systematic reviews or meta-analyses on globally relevant topics are welcome. We will also consider clinical research that has special relevance to LMICs, e.g. using validated instruments to assess health-related quality-of-life in patients from LMICs, innovative diagnostic-therapeutic applications, real-world effectiveness clinical trials, research methods (innovative methodologic papers, with emphasis on low-cost research methods or novel application of methods in low resource settings), and papers pertaining to cardiovascular health promotion and policy (quantitative evaluation of health programs.

全球心脏提供了一个对话和教育论坛，讨论与全球心血管疾病 (CVD) 预防和控制相关的研究、发展、趋势、解决方案和公共卫生计划，特别关注低收入和中等收入国家（中低收入国家）。手稿不仅应说明问题的程度或流行病学，还应描述有效控制和预防 CVD 及其潜在因素的干预措施。重点应放在适用于资源有限环境的方法上。

特别欢迎对成功干预措施进行经济评估。如果重要的话，我们也会考虑负面的发现。虽然不排除医院或诊所治疗的报告，特别是如果它们对具有成本效益的疾病控制或预防具有广泛影响，我们优先考虑解决基于社区的活动的论文。我们鼓励提交有关心血管监测和健康政策、专业教育、道德问题和与预防相关的技术创新的作品。

Global Heart 对发布来自更新的国家或地区人口健康调查、世界卫生组织或全球疾病负担数据、大型临床疾病数据库或登记处的数据特别感兴趣。欢迎对全球相关主题进行系统评价或荟萃分析。我们还将考虑与 LMIC 特别相关的临床研究，例如使用经过验证的工具来评估 LMIC 患者的健康相关生活质量、创新的诊断治疗应用、真实世界有效性临床试验、研究方法（创新方法论论文，重点是低成本研究方法或新的应用资源匮乏环境中的方法），以及与心血管健康促进和政策相关的论文（健康计划的定量评估。

Global Heart创刊于2011年，由UBIQUITY PRESS LTD出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖Medicine - Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度5 Weeks，影响因子指数3.862，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
