Welcome to the fourth issue of the Journal of Cardiac Failure-Intersections. We are once again thrilled to bring you innovative research, impassioned debates, and provocative perspectives from authors and investigators who have been unafraid to explore and exploit the unique collaborations and imaginative discoveries that happen only at cardiovascular medicine’s many intersections. As a maturing editorial team, we finally feel like we are hitting our stride. The anxiety of cultivating a new journal and bringing content to a hungry readership has now been firmly replaced by an increasingly confident, perhaps even bold attitude.
KATZ et al. (2026) studied this question. The Journal of Cardiac Failure-Intersections editorial team reports growing confidence and a bold attitude in cultivating innovative cardiovascular research for their fourth issue.
