Goals of the New Editors

Donald D. Heistad, Editor, Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, Vascular Biology
As the Editorial Offices of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology move from Los Angeles and San Diego to Iowa City, we look back on changes in the Journal and look forward to challenges and goals. Alan Fogelman, with Sam Rapaport, Jack Hawiger, Göran Bondjers, Giulio Gabbiani, and James Scott, have been extraordinary Editors. This view was supported by the overwhelming majority of subscribers in a recent survey. The Journal has the highest impact factor of the journals that focus on atherosclerosis and lipids, and the number of manuscripts submitted has almost tripled during Dr Fogelman's editorship. The Journal has growing recognition in studies of interaction of blood with the vessel wall, and it is emerging as a major journal for studies of vascular biology. As a scientific community, we owe Drs Fogelman, Rapaport, Hawiger, Bondjers, Gabbiani, Scott, the Associate Editors, and the Editorial Board a hearty thank-you.

What are our aims and goals for ATVB? We plan to publish basic and clinical research related to:

vascular biology, including normal mechanisms and alteration during disease. Vascular biology, which is a rapidly expanding area of research, will be a major focus of the journal.

pathophysiology and complications of atherosclerosis.

thrombotic mechanisms in blood vessels, particularly in relation to interaction of blood and the vessel wall.

Authors and readers of ATVB have broad interests. Some appropriate areas of research include studies of normal vascular biology, risk factors for atherosclerosis, dyslipidemias, thrombotic and antithrombotic mechanisms in blood and blood vessels, and vascular abnormalities associated . . .
