About Vascular Disease Management

The latest educational resource from the publishers of Cath Lab Digest, the Journal of Invasive Cardiology, and EP Lab Digest

Vascular Disease Management is a publication designed for professionals in the peripheral interventional field: invasive cardiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional neurologists, interventional radiologists, as well as nephrologists and endocrinologists. VDM launched its first issue in October 2004, at the New Cardiovascular Horizons meeting in New Orleans and VIVA! in Las Vegas.

Vascular Disease Management's editor-in-chief, Dr. Frank Criado, comments, "This is a truly unique publication that was designed with the multi-disciplinary nature of today’s vascular team in mind. Peer-reviewed articles, discussions, and other features will focus largely on issues surrounding clinical decision-making, new technologies, and current trends in the treatment of blood vessel disorders."

A single issue may discuss topics such as carotid stenting, lower limb salvage, future treatments of fibrous uterine tumors, embolic protection, MRI imaging techniques and managing diabetic patients. Vascular Disease Management will provide a practical and educational forum for readers seeking to improve their knowledge of this diverse field.

••• From Frank J. Criado, Editor-in-Chief

It is with a sense of pride and excitement that I set out to write the first Editor’s Letter for the inaugural issue of Vascular Disease Management (VDM). This is a truly unique publication that was designed with the multi-disciplinary nature of today’s vascular team in mind. It intends to become a readily available source of practically important information and a forum for the dissemination of current opinions and changing standards in this rapidly evolving field.

Unlike many of the established peer-review journals, VDM incorporates a unique format which places great emphasis on readability and practical relevance. The articles, discussions, and other features will focus largely on issues surrounding clinical decision-making, new technologies, and current trends in the treatment of blood vessel disorders. The composition of the editorial board is an accurate reflection of VDM’s intent and spirit, with distinguished representation of the four major specialties involved in vascular care today (cardiology, radiology, vascular medicine, and vascular surgery) by renowned leaders in their field. They will undoubtedly provide more than the necessary ingredients to create a fully flavored scientific magazine that can be embraced with interest by all.

Finally, none of this will do any good if VDM fails to attract significant interest and readership. I'm sure I speak for the whole editorial board and the publishers in making a plea for feedback — both positive and negative — so we can continually improve the product in content and format. Please keep in touch and, principally, let us know where we fail. It will be greatly appreciated!

Vascular Disease Management is a publication whose editorial advisory board includes Drs Frank Criado, David Allie, and Gary Ansel, among other leading physicians. •••
