Welcome to the Journal of Heart Valve Disease, where a passion for cardiovascular research meets the spirit of open access. Our story is one of evolution, adaptation, and an unyielding commitment to advancing the understanding and treatment of heart valve diseases.

Our Mission:

At the core of our mission lies a dedication to excellence in research dissemination. We believe that knowledge should flow freely, transcending geographical and financial boundaries. By embracing open access, we aim to amplify the impact of heart valve disease research on a global scale.

What Drives Us:

The Journal of Heart Valve Disease is fueled by a community of brilliant minds – researchers, healthcare professionals, students, and patients – all connected by a shared goal: unraveling the mysteries of heart valve diseases. We understand that collaborative efforts and open dialogue are essential for progress.

What's New?

As of December 15, 2023, we have officially transitioned to an open-access model. This means that all our articles are now accessible to anyone with an internet connection, free of charge. We invite you to explore our repository of knowledge, from groundbreaking research to insightful reviews, without the hindrance of paywalls.

Our Commitment:

We remain steadfast in upholding the highest standards of peer review. Our editorial board comprises experts dedicated to ensuring the quality, accuracy, and relevance of the research we publish. The move to open access enables us to uphold these standards while facilitating quicker dissemination of critical information.

Your Role:
