BMC Cardiovascular Disorders

A review article by Hanna-Rivero, N. et al summarizes recent research progress on elucidating the role of anemia and iron deficiency in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It also discusses the potential impact of anemia and iron deficiency in AF complications such as stroke, bleeding, heart failure, as well as AF-related exercise intolerance.

A review article by D. Thomas et al.,  summarizes recent progress in the field of cardiac organoids and critically discusses the use of 3-D cardiac models in disease modelling and drug screening.

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders acknowledges that progress in digital health and innovation is fundamental to the advancement of modern cardiology. We therefore announced a call for papers a few months ago on the topic of digital health and technology within the field of cardiology/cardiovascular diseases.
