Global Heart

Global Heart seeks to provide a forum for dialogue and education on matters that relate foremost to the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases worldwide, with a special focus on countries with middle and lower economies. With the main focus being on prevention, manuscripts should address not only the extent or epidemiology of the problem, but also describe interventions to effectively control and prevent cardiovascular diseases and their antecedent factors. The emphasis should be on approaches that can be applied in settings with limited resources. Economic evaluations of successful interventions will be particularly welcome. Important negative findings will also be considered. While reports of hospital or clinic-based treatments will not necessarily be rejected, particularly if they have broad implications for cost-effective disease control or prevention, manuscripts that address community-based activities will be preferred. Submissions on cardiovascular surveillance and health policies, professional education, ethical issues and technological innovations particularly those related to prevention are encouraged.

“全球心脏”力求提供一个论坛，就世界范围内最重要的预防和控制心血管疾病的问题进行对话和教育，特别侧重于中、低收入国家。以预防为主，写稿不仅应说明问题的范围或流行病学，而且应说明有效控制和预防心血管疾病的干预措施及其前因。重点应放在能够在资源有限的情况下应用的方法上。特别欢迎对成功的干预措施进行经济评价。重要的负面结果也将被考虑。虽然医院或以临床为基础的治疗的报告不一定会被拒绝，特别是如果这些报告对成本效益高的疾病控制或预防具有广泛的影响，但最好是处理以社区为基础的活动的报告。鼓励就心血管监测和健康政策、专业教育、伦理问题和技术创新，特别是与预防有关的技术创新提交意见。
