Journal includes:

* News from the associations

The main purpose of the section "News from the associations" is to inform
their members on questions of general interest to the profession. It
consists primarily of contributions to further education, reports of working
groups as well as recommendations and consensus documents on clinical work.
As a rule these texts should not exceed 3-4 manuscript pages in length.

* Review articles

Review articles are primarily intended for further education of the medical
profession and should therefore be drafted in readily accessible language,
include 4-6 illustrations and/or charts, and be adequately illustrated and
documented by 20-30 literature references. The text itself should not exceed
8 manuscript pages (approx. 2500 characters) in length. Articles should
include a summary in the original language of not more than 1/2-1 A4 page
and a summary in English of not more than 1/2-1 A4 page.

* Scientific papers

These papers should be based on scientific standards as published in the
guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors
(Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals).

Scientific papers include summaries in the original language and English
(1/2-1 A4 page each), an introduction (not more than 1 A4 page), information
on the methods and results and a discussion. The introduction and the
discussion should refer to other publications in literature and not exceed
20-30 references. 

* Images in cardiovascular medicine

This section publishes interesting findings from clinical investigations
using echocardiography, MRI, angiography or other imaging techniques. In
addition to the actual imaging material (usually 1-2 illustrations), the
clinical background should be described (1/2-1 A4 page) and the diagnosis
and findings explained (not more than 1/2-1 A4 page; captions to the
illustrations). These contributions may also include a short list of
literature references (maximum 3).

* The interesting ECG

This section is devoted to ECG findings of special interest. The ECG itself
should be accompanied by a presentation of the clinical findings (1/2-1 A4
page) and the solution (maximum 1/2-1 A4 page). The ECG should carry a
caption.

* Letters to the Editor

The editorial board reserves the right to select, abridge and edit letters
to the editor. The shorter the letter, the greater the chance of
publication. The text should not exceed 500 words in length, including
references if any. This represents approx. 1 1/2 typescript pages.
