JACC Cardiovascular Imaging - now available to WSU faculty staff and students in the Electronic Journal Center.

Published by Elsevier. Description by the editorial staff: JACC Cardiovascular Imaging will take a broad, balanced view of all aspects of cardiovascular imaging. The journal will publish original clinical research articles employing noninvasive and invasive imaging techniques including echocardiography, CT, CMR, nuclear, optical imaging, and cine-angiography. Advances in basic science and molecular imaging that are likely to substantially influence the clinical practice of medicine in the next decade (in diagnostic performance, understanding of the pathogenetic basis of the disease, and therapy) will be especially welcomed. Other content will emphasize imaging for the practicing cardiologist, advocacy and practice management issues, and state-of-the-art reviews.

Interactive elements of the journal are available on its website.
