Controversy
Until 2013, the journal was published by Pulsus Group, which sold the journal to Cardiology Academic Press.[2] Since then, the journal has been accused of publishing manuscripts without adequate review,[3] as evidenced by the acceptance for publication of a fake manuscript submitted by journalists from the Ottawa Citizen.[2] The journal claims to be an official journal of the International Academy of Cardiovascular Sciences, but this organisation denies any connection with it.[2]
