Diagnostic Dilemmas and Therapeutic Insights in Cardiovascular Case Reports

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection on "Diagnostic Dilemmas and Therapeutic Insights in Cardiovascular Case Reports", in the International Medical Case Reports Journal, organized by our Associate Editors-in-Chief Dr. Vinay Kumar from Pennsylvania State University Hershey Medical Center, USA, and Ms. Anuradha Tyagi from Institute of Nuclear Medicine & Allied Sciences, India.

Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, spanning a broad spectrum of presentations, complexities, and therapeutic challenges. Case reports play a unique and indispensable role in cardiology by capturing novel presentations, rare complications, unexpected treatment responses, and innovative diagnostic approaches. This Article Collection aims to highlight clinically significant case reports that enhance our understanding of cardiovascular and vascular conditions and inform frontline clinical decision-making.

Despite rapid advances in cardiovascular medicine, clinicians continue to encounter unexpected or atypical patient scenarios. Case reports serve as valuable educational tools, offering real-world insights beyond the confines of large trials and guidelines. They often provide the first glimpse of emerging diseases, drug side effects, procedural innovations, and complex comorbidities. By systematically gathering high-quality case reports, we create a platform that promotes shared clinical learning and fosters global dialogue on rare and instructive cardiovascular phenomena.

This Article Collection invites submissions that align with the scope of Case Reports in Cardiology, focusing on all aspects of heart and vascular health. Subtopics may include - but are not limited to - ischemic heart disease, structural heart defects, electrophysiological disorders, valvular diseases, cardiomyopathies, vascular anomalies, endovascular interventions, and cardio-oncology. We welcome classical case reports, case series, clinical images, and brief communications that offer new insights, challenge existing paradigms, or prompt further investigation. Submissions should clearly articulate the educational value and clinical relevance of the case, ideally supported by imaging, histopathology, or procedural documentation where applicable.

Please submit your manuscript on our website, using the promo code 71858 for 20% off the advertised article processing charge and to indicate that your manuscript will be considered for the “Diagnostic Dilemmas and Therapeutic Insights in Cardiovascular Case Reports” Collection. We will be welcoming relevant papers up until the 31st May 2026

Please review the journal’s aims and scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript.

Advancing Oncology through Clinical Case Reports: Insights, Challenges, and Future Directions

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection in the International Medical Case Reports Journal on “Advancing Oncology through Clinical Case Reports: Insights, Challenges, and Future Directions”, organized by our Associate Editors-in-Chief Prof. Xudong Zhu from University of Kentucky, USA, and Prof. Jiawen Bu from Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, China.

Clinical case reports in oncology provide critical insights into rare malignancies, atypical treatment responses, and novel therapeutic approaches. These reports bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world clinical practice, offering clinicians and researchers actionable knowledge to improve patient outcomes.

This Article Collection aims to compile high-quality case studies that highlight diagnostic dilemmas, innovative therapies, and multidisciplinary management strategies in oncology.

Oncology is a rapidly evolving field where individualized patient care is paramount. Case reports serve as foundational tools for identifying emerging trends, unexpected side effects, and therapeutic breakthroughs. By documenting unique clinical scenarios, this collection will foster a deeper understanding of tumor biology, resistance mechanisms, and personalized treatment paradigms. Such knowledge is vital for advancing global cancer care and informing future clinical trials.

We invite submissions of case reports, case series, and clinical vignettes that address the following subtopics:

  • Rare or underreported malignancies
  • Unusual presentations or complications of common cancers
  • Innovative uses of targeted therapies, immunotherapies, or combination regimens
  • Ethical and logistical challenges in oncological care
  • Long-term survivorship and quality-of-life considerations

All submissions must align with the journal's scope of translational and clinical research.

Please submit your manuscript on our website, using the promo code FB6C1 for 20% off the advertised article processing charge and to indicate that your manuscript will be considered for the “Advancing Oncology through Clinical Case Reports: Insights, Challenges, and Future Directions” Collection. We will be welcoming relevant papers up until the 30th June 2026.

Please review the journal’s aims and scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript.

What is the advantage to you of publishing in the International Medical Case Reports Journal?

  • It is an open access journal which means that your paper is available to anyone in the world to download for free directly from the Dove website.
  • Although the International Medical Case Reports Journal receives many papers, unlike most traditional journals, your paper will not be rejected due to lack of space. We are an electronic journal and there are no limits on the number or size of the papers we can publish.
  • The time from submission to a decision being made on a paper can, in many journals, take some months and this is very frustrating for authors. The International Medical Case Reports Journal has a quicker turnaround time than this. Generally peer review is complete within 3-4 weeks and the editor’s decision within 2-14 days of this. It is therefore very rare to have to wait more than 6 weeks for first editorial decision.
  • Many authors have found that our peer reviewer’s comments substantially add to their final papers.

To recover our editorial and production costs and continue to provide our content at no cost to readers we charge authors or their institution an article publishing charge.
