Asian Cardiovascular and Thoracic Annals

Asian Annals has been the "Voice of Cardiac Medicine in Asia" and the Pacific Rim since it was launched in 1993.

It evolved from the APEX newsletter in the mid to late 1980s into a regular scientific publication where Asian clinicians can report original work and case studies, discuss surgical techniques, review intra-disciplinary literature, and communicate regional news and events.

The focus of Asian Annals is the care of the heart. Our mission is to provide a forum for cardiovascular and thoracic surgeons, cardiologists, and allied health care professionals from Asia and the Pacific Rim to discuss the diagnoses and treatment of cardiovascular and thoracic diseases from a regional perspective.

Although compelling clinical work is accepted for publication from outside of Asia, we are primarily concerned with the development of cardiac medicine in this vast and diverse part of the world.

During our years of publication, Asian medicine has progressed at a pace unequaled in the world, and we look forward with renewed vigor to documenting this progress by reemphasizing our role as a forum for the free and open exchange on the issues, events, and scientific data impacting the vibrant Asian cardiac community.
