Abstract
This article introduces the Second Special Issue of Cardiovascular Pathology (CVP), the official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology (SCVP). This CVP Special Issue showcases a series of commemorative review articles in celebration of the 25th anniversary of CVP originally published in 2016 and now compiled into a virtual collection with online access for the cardiovascular pathology community. This overview also provides updates on the major categories of cardiovascular diseases from the perspective of cardiovascular pathologists, highlighting publications from CVP, as well as additional important review articles and clinicopathologic references.
Introduction
In 2018, Cardiovascular Pathology (CVP) published its first ever Special Issue presenting a virtual collection with online access to a series of Consensus Documents produced jointly by the Society for Cardiovascular Pathology (SCVP) and the Association for European Cardiovascular Pathology (AECVP) [1]. Given the popularity of that endeavor, CVP is excited to now publish a second Special Issue of CVP [2] incorporating the series of 25th anniversary commemorative CVP review articles [3–9]. These articles were conceived as a series with the general title of Pathobiology of Cardiovascular Diseases: Past, Present, and Future Perspectives [3]. The objectives of this second Special Issue of CVP are (1) to assemble the 25th Anniversary commemorative review articles into one cohesive virtual collection with online access for the cardiovascular pathology community and (2) to broaden the scope of the endeavor by providing updates and commentaries on the major categories of cardiovascular disorders — incorporating important clinical publications while also presenting the viewpoint of cardiovascular pathologists.
