Global Heart

期刊简介：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.

【译文】全球心脏杂志提供了一个平台，用于讨论和普及关于全球心血管疾病（CVDs）的预防与控制的研究、发展、趋势、解决方案和公共卫生项目。特别关注低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）。稿件应不仅涉及问题的范围或流行病学，还应描述有效控制与预防CVDs及其潜在因素的措施。重点应放在资源有限的环境中的适用方法。欢迎提交成功干预措施的经济评估。如果重要，我们也会考虑负面结果。虽然不排除基于医院或诊所的治疗报告，尤其是如果它们对成本效益疾病控制或预防有广泛影响，但我们优先考虑针对社区活动的论文。我们鼓励提交关于心血管监测和健康政策、专业教育、伦理问题和预防相关的技术革新的稿件。全球心脏杂志特别感兴趣的是发表更新后的国家或地区人口健康调查数据、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。欢迎提交关于全球相关主题的系统评价或荟萃分析。我们还将考虑对LMICs具有特殊相关性的临床研究，例如使用经过验证的工具评估LMICs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，强调低成本研究方法或在资源有限环境中的新方法应用），以及与心血管健康促进和政策相关的论文（健康项目的定量评估）。
