Overview

Top Research Topics at Journal of Interventional Cardiology?

The journal primarily focuses on research topics in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Surgery, Myocardial infarction and Percutaneous coronary intervention. Topics like Angioplasty, Coronary artery disease, Stenosis, Revascularization and Artery are tackled as part of the discussions on Internal medicine. Many of the research works in Cardiology, specifically Mace, Cardiac catheterization and Acute coronary syndrome, closely connected to disciplines like In patient.

Journal of Interventional Cardiology focuses on Surgery research which is adjacent to topics in Radiology. Discussions in Journal of Interventional Cardiology are anchored in the subject of Radiology and the similar topic of Lesion. Myocardial infarction research discussed connects with the study of Stroke.

While Percutaneous coronary intervention is the focus of the journal, it also provided insights into the studies of Randomized controlled trial and Conventional PCI. Coronary stent is the primary subject of Stent works presented in the journal.

The journal investigates studies in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Percutaneous coronary intervention, Conventional PCI and Myocardial infarction. Internal medicine, which encompasses Coronary artery disease, Stroke, Incidence (epidemiology), Hazard ratio and Confidence interval, is the main subject of it. Journal of Interventional Cardiology connects the study in Cardiology with the closely related area of Proportional hazards model.

While Journal of Interventional Cardiology focused on Percutaneous coronary intervention, it was also able to explore topics like Stent, Artery and Angioplasty. The research on Conventional PCI featured in the journal combines topics in other fields like Clinical trial, Occlusion, Surgery, Balloon and Circumflex. The research on Myocardial infarction tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Lesion, Randomized controlled trial and Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 10.29% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 9.84% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 1.64% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.11% of all publications and 75.41% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Careers in Interventional Cardiology

In addition to providing in-depth analysis of research topics in the field of interventional cardiology, it is equally important to discuss career opportunities for interested individuals. If you're considering a career in interventional cardiology, there are several paths you could take. For instance, you may decide to become a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) who specializes in cardiac care. Such an LPN would work under the supervision of a cardiologist and assist with procedures and patient care. For those residents of Tennessee wishing to pursue this path, we recommend viewing some of the top LPN programs in your state. You can review the lpn programs in Tennessee to gain a better understanding of this career path. Further education could lead to becoming a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Nurse, an Interventional Cardiologist, or even a Cardiothoracic Surgeon. Each of these positions would allow you to directly contribute to the lifesaving research and advancements discussed in this journal. In any position within this field, continuing education will be paramount to staying up-to-date with the latest research and innovations. Therefore, access to such research, like that found in the Journal of Interventional Cardiology, will be an invaluable resource.
