The Journal of Cardiac Failure is pleased to announce a Call For Papers for a special Focus Issue on Hemodynamics. Guest Editors Drs. Daniel Burkhoff, Mark Belkin and Susanna Mak will oversee this Focus Issue, to be published in the Fall of 2025.

We invite submission for all JCF paper types, including:

• Original Research Papers
• State of the Art Reviews
• Perspectives
• Brief Reports
• Research Letters
• Early Career/Trainee Spotlight
• Patient and Caregiver Perspectives

*Please note that JCF does not accept Case Reports.
 

The editors are looking for papers in the following (but not limited to) topic areas:

• Use of invasive hemodynamic measurements to elucidate fundamental mechanisms underlying heart failure syndromes across the spectrum of ejection fractions and disease severities, including, but not limited to, heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction, cardiogenic shock, pulmonary hypertension, and dyspnea of uncertain etiology
• Use of invasive hemodynamic measurements for diagnosis, prognostication, and assessment of the effects of therapeutics
• Novel hemodynamic metrics or analytical approaches to improve diagnostic practices, prognostication, and/or therapeutic targets
• The intersection of technology and invasive hemodynamic measurement or interpretation
• Non-invasive surrogates for invasive hemodynamic measurements
• Hemodynamic phenotyping to improve selection of patients most likely to benefit from medical- or device-based therapeutics

In line with our core values at JCF, we encourage multi-disciplinary collaborations (e.g., pharmacists, nurses, physicians) and emphasize inclusion of the patient voice/perspective.
 
We also consider inclusion of diverse and representative co-authors a priority. Along these lines, JCF aims to feature, promote and highlight women, underrepresented minorities, and early career individuals.
