Vol. 1 No. 1 (2023): June 2023

Welcome to the June issue of Advances in Cardiac Research, the first of our quarterly publications dedicated to propelling the boundaries of cardiovascular science. In our Editor's Cardiology Corner, Dr. Okutucu  and other editors set the stage for groundbreaking research and transformative insights. We feature thought-provoking articles, including a review by Dr. Purwowiyoto challenging conventional practices with coronary drug-coated balloons and an exploration of intravascular imaging techniques by Ozgul et al. In the Pill Stats section, Dr. Bursa sheds light on diverse study designs in medical research. Original research by Tutuncu et al. investigates the impact of radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation on gastroparesis. Dr. Sarraf takes us on a journey through the renaissance of cardiovascular science in the 21st century in the Flow Focus section. Our Case Reports section highlights interesting cases that challenge our understanding of cardiac conditions. Pasciolly et al. present balloon pulmonary angioplasty as an effective treatment for CTEPH, while Zengin et al. navigate the complexities of surgical intervention for symptomatic coronary aneurysms in acute coronary syndrome. Last but not least, our Cardiac Spotlight section, authored by Dr. Rafflenbeul, explores the transformative power of simulation-based training, redefining the traditional "see one, do one, teach one" approach in cardiovascular education. We kindly invite researchers and experts to submit their high-quality papers and cutting-edge research for consideration in upcoming issues of our promising journal.

Thank you for your support and contributions as we embark on this exciting journey. The Editorial Team of Advances in Cardiac Research wishes you an enjoyable and enlightening reading experience.
