 Back to the Summary
Dear Readers,
I have been serving as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Heart and Metabolism since 1999 and I have enjoyed having had the opportunity to contribute to its development. Being Editor-in-Chief of Heart and Metabolism has been a very rewarding experience. During this period, the journal has continuously provided you with the newest findings about the role of metabolism in cardiac disease and its clinical and therapeutical implications. I also believe that we have made considerable progress over these past few years in improving the quality of the journal.
The growing interest and understanding of the role of cardiac metabolism has greatly boosted our readership. Today, the journal is distributed in over 30 countries worldwide, and its website has also become increasingly popular. However, due to new horizons in my professional career that require all my attention, I will not have the necessary time to devote to the journal and, as a result, shall be standing down.
Finally, I would like to express my sincere best wishes to the new Editor-in-Chief, Professor M. Marzilli, an experienced, dynamic and talented professional who I am certain will bring vision, passion and energy to the further development of the journal. I wish Heart and Metabolism and all its readers continuing success in the future.
Frans Visser
Former Editor-in-Chief
I am honoured to accept the position as Editor-in-Chief of Heart and Metabolism.
I was a founding Board Member and have been deeply involved in the growth of Heart and Metabolism from the beginning.
In assuming this position and on behalf of all the members of the Editorial Board, I pledge that the journal will stay, true to its name, and will continue to give you the very latest evidence on all aspects of fundamental and clinical research on cardiac metabolism, as well as its therapeutical implications.
I will do my best to maintain and further enhance the scientific quality of the journal, so that it becomes recognized as a reference in this field.
At the same time I wish to make it even more attractive and useful for our readers.
A special thank you must go to Frans Visser for the incredible job he has done as Editor-in-Chief of Heart and Metabolism and for the kind words. It will not be easy to match the progress the journal has made under his direction, but, with the support of the Editorial Board and of the Editorial staff, we can maintain the pace!
Mario Marzilli
Editor-in-Chief
