Drugi dvobroj časopisa Cardiologia Croatica za 2024. godinu izašao je na 100 stranica. Donosimo proširene kongresne sažetke Simpozija invazivne kardiologije koji se održava od 1. do 3. prosinca 2023. u Slavonskom Brodu. Nakon sažetaka donosimo još četiri zanimljiva priloga. Dva su priloga nastala u suradnji s Mađarskim kardiološkim društvom. Radi se o ponovnoj objavi izabranih radova koji su tijekom 2023. objavljeni u časopisu Cardiologia Hungarica. Najprije donosimo analizu smrtnosti od ishemijske bolesti srca u zapadnoeuropskim, istočnoeuropskim i zemljama bivšega Sovjetskog Saveza. Slijedi domaći uvodnik o kardiovaskularnoj toksičnosti uzrokovanoj onkološkim liječenjem, a potom i drugi članak mađarskih kolega koji govori o razvoju definicije i reinterpretaciji kardiovaskularne toksičnosti. Broj završavamo preglednim radom na temu interferencije fibrilacije atrija s terapijom ICD-a.

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.
