In his online Mission Statement Prof Tevaearai lays out his vision for the community-driven journal and his desire for Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine to cover all aspects of cardiovascular health, prevention, treatment and care.

“I believe we have a truly community-driven approach, including authors, reviewers, editors, and of course readers, all contributing to further develop the future of cardiovascular medicine.” – Prof Tevaearai

Prof Tevaearai takes on the role of FCE along with his current position as Specialty Chief Editor of the section Heart Surgery, cross-listed between Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine and Frontiers in Surgery. Prof Tevaearai will retain his role as SCE while taking on the position of FCE.

“Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine transforms your studies into new sources of inspiration for the cardiovascular medicine community to further research and clinical practice. And it is you, the authors and readers, who are insufflating this dynamic.” – Prof Tevaearai
