NEW YORK -Jan. 29, 2018 -The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) is pleased to announce that the latest issue of Structural Heart: The Journal of the Heart Team is now available online at: http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ushj20/2/1?nav=tocList.
"The first issue of Volume 2 includes a mix of review and original research articles covering topics such as aortic stenosis from a heart failure perspective to transcatheter mitral valve repair and replacement," said Anthony N. DeMaria, MD, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal and the Judith and Jack White Chair in Cardiology and Founding Director of the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center at the University of California, San Diego. "The issue also features our new Fellow and Early Career Structural Heart Forum. Organized by Dr. Kimberly Atianzar, the forum is meant to provide a home for the needs and perspectives of trainees and early career physicians in the field. In this first article, Dr. Atizanar explores pursuing an additional training year in structural heart disease. As fellows will make major contributions to the evolution of the discipline, we hope they will provide us with their unique perspectives in future issues."
Structural Heart, the official journal of CRF, is led by a distinguished Editorial Board of recognized international experts in the field. The Journal is dedicated to disseminating the latest research and information to members of the Heart Team, as well as the wider medical community interested in structural heart disorders.
Volume 2, Issue 1 of Structural Heart features the following articles:

About CRF and Structural Heart
The Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF) is a nonprofit research and educational organization dedicated to helping doctors improve the survival and quality of life for people suffering from heart and vascular disease. For over 25 years, CRF has helped pioneer innovations in interventional cardiology and has educated doctors on the latest treatments for heart disease. For more information, visit http://www.crf.org.
Structural Heart: The Journal of the Heart Team is the official journal of CRF. It is a unique, international, and peer-reviewed journal focusing on diagnosing and treating diseases of the heart valves, myocardium, and great vessels, as well as congenital heart disease, and shedding light on the importance of the Heart Team in this process. The journal covers topics such as transcatheter procedures, cardiovascular surgery, drug treatment, basic and translational science and imaging in structural heart disease, and innovation (new devices, therapies, and first-in-man).
