Review of Mechanisms and Clinical Applications

Dan Roden, MD, Section Editor, Cardiovascular Drugs; ; James T. Willerson, MD, Circulation Editor

In this issue and continuing on a monthly basis, Circulation will review basic mechanisms and clinical applications of the most important and relevant cardiovascular medications used to treat cardiovascular diseases in humans. Experienced physicians, knowledgeable about specific classes of medications, will contribute comprehensive reviews providing the interested reader with detailed information concerning cardiovascular medications used in the treatment of patients with selected cardiovascular problems. These reviews will identify indications, patient benefits, side effects, and possible interactions with other medications. Dr Dan Roden will serve as the Section Editor of this new series. The majority of the reviews will be invited ones, but we are also willing to consider reviews submitted by the readership of Circulation. We believe that this new series will be useful to physicians who care for patients with cardiovascular diseases.
