José Maria Del Castillo Editor-in-Chief of ABC – Imagem Cardiovascular

Dear DIC fellows, We have completed a year of hard work and high expectations about the directions of our ABC — Imagem Cardiovascular. The year that is about to begin will be a very important one, as we have devised strategies to increase the participation of national authors from major cardiology centers, of foreign authors, and our young DIC fellows that have been showing their appreciation submitting high quality studies.

A key action that we have taken is the expansion of our range of Associate Editors, with the creation of Advanced Methods in Echocardiography, to enable more accurate reviews of myocardial strain and three-dimensional echo studies. Another initiative is the renewal of our database of reviewers. The increased number of scientific papers submitted by our cardiovascular imaging colleagues is another highlight. We are contacting master’s and doctor’s students from top universities to encourage them to submit manuscripts to our journal. The decisive and firm support of our president, Dr. Samira Mohry, of our Associate Editors and the Reviewers of different areas, has been of fundamental importance for this progress. Once again, I would like to note that a journal can only evolve and get stronger if all associate members, as well as colleagues from other areas, publish their original manuscripts, case reports, reviews and imaging manuscripts. I wish a great 2017 to all of you!
