Cardiologia Croatica. 2024;19(1-2):1-92.

Prvi dvobroj časopisa Cardiologia Croatica za 2024. godinu izašao je na 92 stranice. Donosimo proširene kongresne sažetke 10. kongresa Hrvatske udruge kardioloških medicinskih sestara koji se održava od 9. do 12. studenoga 2023. u Makarskoj. Nakon sažetaka donosimo tri zanimljiva priloga. Prvo je zajednički uvodnik čija je tema klimatska kriza i kriza bioraznolikosti kao nedjeljiva zdravstvena kriza, koji je istodobno publiciran u više od 250 međunarodnih medicinskih časopisa (uključivo The BMJ, The Lancet, JAMA i dr.). Slijedi kratko priopćenje na temu značaja fibrilacije atrija i arterijske hipertenzije. Treći prilog je pregledni rad na temu prevencije progresije kronične bubrežne bolesti. Ovaj broj završavamo novim izdanjem Uputa autorima.

Pozivamo članove Hrvatskog kardiološkog društva da ažuriraju svoje podatke za pretplatu na časopis – molimo poslati aktualnu poštansku adresu na adresu elektroničke pošte kardio@kardio.hr na koju zaprimamo i buduće članke.
