A globalização da RBCCV

Abstract

Editorial ne of my priorities when taking over the function of Editor of the Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery/Revista Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular (BJCVS/RBCCV) in 2002, was to make that the online edition of the journal could be accessible not only in Brazil, but it could have international reaching, both in receiving and publishing of articles from abroad, as well as to be read in several countries. The letters sent to Dr. Bruno Botelho Pinheiro commenting on the article "Effects of ischemic postconditioning on left ventricular function of isolated rat hearts" (Edition 24.1), reproduced on page 429, and to Dr. Ulisses Croti, requesting authorization for the use of an image published in the article "Interatrial communication and hypothyroidism in patient with Down Syndrome" (Edition 22.4), published on page 431, are proof that the BJCVS has been globalized and accessed all over the world.
