ART & MEDICINE
An open
invitation
to artists
Past CDT cover images courtesy of CDT.
Art and medicine overlap in many ways. The
journal Cardiovascular Diagnosis and Therapy (CDT)
invites artists to submit their artwork in the form
of images to our feature column entitled “Art and
Medicine.” We also encourage submission of manuscripts related to the role of art in medicine.
Who are we?
The journal CDT (Print ISSN: 2223-3652; Online
ISSN: 2223-3660) is a bimonthly, open-access, peerreviewed medical journal that is published through
the joint efforts from our editorial board members
worldwide and our editorial offices based in Hong
Kong and Mainland China. Our logo unveils this
characteristic: a Chinese character
“心”, which means the heart and also represents the
organ, connects the blue venous and red arterial
circulation. It symbolizes the function of the
heart, the main focus of CDT, as well as the goal of
building an international scientific platform. CDT
is already indexed in PubMed, the search engine of
the National Center for Biotechnology Information
at the US National Library of Medicine, which
enhances the visibility of articles published in CDT.
What are our goals?
Our primary goal is to promote rapid exchange of
scientific information related to cardiovascular care
between clinicians and scientists worldwide. We are
working diligently on the dissemination platform,
both for the print and online versions of the journal. This includes developing a central platform for
our online presence, linked to a major website, such
as MDLinx.com or Dxy.cn (the largest online academic portal for over 3 million Chinese physicians
and life science professionals). We have also established webpages on social media platforms such as
Facebook, Twitter (@Journal_CDT) and LinkedIn.

What’s “Art and Medicine”?
“Art and Medicine” is a permanent special feature
