Heart and Metabolism is a quarterly journal focusing on the management of myocardial ischemia. Its aim is to inform cardiologists and other specialists about the newest findings of the role of metabolism in cardiac disease and to create awareness of its potential clinical implications. The management of patients with angina, as well as those with heart failure and hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy, will also be discussed. Moreover, the effects of metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus on the heart will be highlighted. Each issue will include an editorial, followed by articles on a key topic. Experts in the field will explain the metabolic consequences of cardiac disease and the multiple potential targets for pharmacotherapy in ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease.
