The Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular Journal (MDCVJ) supports the educational mission of Houston Methodist DeBakey CV Education by empowering the next generation of heart and vascular specialists to gain knowledge and stay informed on best practices, clinical treatments, and promising research in cardiovascular medicine. Each peer-reviewed issue publishes thematic curated reviews describing the current state of relevant and timely cardiovascular topics. Issues also includes peer-reviewed case reports, multimodality images, Interactive CME Case quizzes, and humanities articles.
Geared towards cardiologists, cardiovascular surgeons, general practitioners, and CV residents and fellows, MDCVJ explores a robust range of timely issues—from updates in cardiology and cardiovascular surgery subspecialties, such as cardiovascular imaging, aortic disease, cardiac critical care, and percutaneous valve disease, to public health and cultural concerns such as the cardiovascular impact of COVID-19, quality and patient safety, and digital health. The journal is published quarterly in both online and print formats, with a limited free print distribution to subscribers. Case reports are published on a continuous basis in an online issue.
