The Journal of Invasive Cardiology (JIC) was launched in 1988 to provide a focused, definitive source for cardiovascular specialists to stay up to date. Cited by Index Medicus/Pubmed, ISI Current Contents/Clinical Medicine, and SCIE, top-level researchers at major competitive institutions throughout the US and worldwide readily choose to submit original research and manuscripts to JIC. This unique sub-specialty has been shown to be the most data-driven in medicine in terms of their efforts to seek clinical studies to help guide their practice patterns rather than relying on standard protocols. Our mission is to help these busy practitioners make sense of the clinical significance of research for immediate use in day-to-day patient care. JIC provides a direct conduit to the latest innovations in clinical research and practice, regular in-depth reviews, and expert commentaries. Each month, readers rely on the journal to bring them practical, evidence-based clinical articles, concentrating on real-world outcomes concerning the use of therapeutic devices in cardiovascular and structural heart disease, drugs used in the cardiac catheterization laboratory and in post-PCI therapy, and comparisons of treatment modalities in small hospital settings as well as in large teaching institutions. The Journal of Invasive Cardiology is a leading interventional treatment journal because it offers clinicians current, practical information critical for effectively diagnosing, treating, and managing patients with cardiovascular and structural heart disease.
