Vascular Medicine

Vascular Medicine is the peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Vascular Medicine. Founded under Edward Arnold in 1996 with Mark A. Creager (then at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, subsequently President of the American Heart Association) as founding editor, the journal moved to SAGE Publications with the rest of the Hodder Arnold journal list in 2006.

Editorial scope covers the clinical management of vascular disease: peripheral arterial disease (PAD), venous thromboembolism, aortic disease, vasospastic disorders, fibromuscular dysplasia, vasculitis, and the management of vascular risk factors. The journal also publishes work on non-invasive vascular imaging (duplex ultrasound, vascular MR, CT angiography), the basic biology of the vessel wall (endothelial function, vascular smooth-muscle phenotype, angiogenesis), and the cross-disciplinary territory between angiology, cardiology, and interventional radiology.

Under Creager's founding editorship Vascular Medicine established itself as the principal North American journal of clinical angiology, complementing the European literature. The journal has continued under SAGE with the same editorial direction and remains the official organ of the Society for Vascular Medicine.
