Joint editor-in-chief Diederick E. Grobbee, MD, FESC, Professor of Clinical Epidemiology and Chair of the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care, University Medical Center Utrecht, adds: ‘The roots of preventive cardiology are solidly European and consequently it is appropriate that Europe, and the ESC in particular, takes the lead in promoting research and education in this important domain’.
The journal states that it embraces all the scientific, clinical, and public health disciplines that address the causes and prevention of cardiovascular disease, as well as cardiovascular rehabilitation and exercise physiology.
Readers could be experts in preventive cardiology, public health, exercise physiology, and cardiac rehabilitation, but also general cardiologists and physicians.
EACPR has six sections (with plans to merge some of them), namely exercise physiology, basic science, cardiac rehabilitation, epidemiology, public health, and health policy. The sections represent the former working groups of the ESC which merged in creating the association.
