ABSTRACT

I want to sincerely thank the publisher and the editorial board for the honor of serving as editor-in-chief of the International Journal of Cardiovascular Research & Innovation. I have over four decades of experience as an author, reviewer, and editor in clinical practice as an internist, cardiologist, and epidemiologist holding degrees from Baylor University, University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, University of Michigan, and Southern Methodist University [1]. I have broadly published on a range of topics in medicine with > 1000 publications and > 700 citations in the National Library of Medicine. The Journal asked me to answer these questions for our readership.
