Welcome to Cardiovascular Research 

This system allows authors to submit their manuscripts electronically and follow their manuscripts’ progress through the review process. Reviewers are able to download assigned manuscripts and submit their comments and recommendations online as well as track the progress of a particular manuscript to which they are assigned.

NOTE: As of August 1, 2007, we have slightly changed our reference format for submitted papers as well as the abstract subheadings. Funding and Conflict of Interest statements must also be included. Please see the new Instructions for Authors for details. Beginning in 2008, Cardiovascular Research will be published by Oxford University Press.
