Dear readers,

Introducing the first issue of a new peer - reviewed international journal on  cardiovascular surgery and transplantation,  cardiology and broad spectrum of relevant  disciplines  – Heart Vessels and Transplantation,  I would like to highlight main editorial and  publishing policies.

You may find in the next  Editorial the reasons why we decided to publish  a new international peer - reviewed journal. We  fully endorse international rules on biomedical  publishing and publication ethics. Our journal is  published in English language; we apply the  double - blind unbiased peer - review, including  internal review by section editors and external  reviewers, experts on the topic.

We follow  principle of international diversity  – editorial  board, reviewers and authors. Therefore, we  invite and welcome submissions from around  the region and world. We announced the  details of editorial and publishing policies,  instructions to authors, where you can find all  necessary information before submission of  your articles for consideration for publication to  our journal in our website:  www.hvt-journal.com and in this issue.

 I would like to  inform that journal follows the publication  ethics principles, to prevent scientific or ethical  misconduct. Authors are required to fill and  submit the authorship form and conflict of  interest forms along with their manuscripts. All  these forms and additional information  - international guide lines how to present  research articles according to the design of the  study, systematic reviews and meta - analyses,  case reports can be accessed online at Authors`  corner and through links to sources, which was  created to help our authors with preparation  of  manuscripts before submission to the journal.  In this context, we published two editorial  articles, prepared by our section editors on  academic writing, and how to present results of  statistical analyses. 

In this 1 st issue you can find research articles on  cardiovascular surgery, and public health, review article with focus  on cardiac surgery and invited review on cardiac  imaging, case report and brief report,  editorials. We encourage you to submit letters  to the editors discussing the results of  published research studies and systematic  reviews, brief reports, opinions as clinicians  regarding published case reports. We invite you  to send letters covering the emerging debates  on various topics of healthcare, announcing  projects in the field of cardiovascular surgery,  cardiology, internal medicine and broader range  of specialties, undergraduate and postgraduate  continuous medical education and create a platform for exchange of opinions of medical professionals. We believe if we carry out all above mentioned  responsibilities as authors, reviewers and  editors we will reach our goal to bring your  research and clinical experience to broad audience of international healthcare professionals and science community and contribute thus to the  knowledge pool of evidence - based medicine. 

As an Editor - in - Chief I will write once a year  with the complete analysis of journal`s  performance based on readability statistics and  citation analysis of published articles, and  adjustments in editorial policies according to  the results. Along with this, Editors of our  journal will address different hot and emerging  issues during the publication year. 

We look forward for your contributions.
