Vascular Disease Management Selects NCVH Co-founder Dr. Craig Walker as Clinical Editor

LAFAYETTE, La. - Jan. 13, 2014 - PRLog -- New Cardiovascular Horizons (NCVH) co-founder Craig Walker, MD, has been named the new clinical editor of Vascular Disease Management, a double-blind, peer-reviewed journal for a multidisciplinary range of specialists treating peripheral vascular disease (PAD).

NCVH’s mission is to bring together key disciplines to focus on the team approach to total cardiovascular care in patients with PAD and critical limb ischemia (CLI).

“Great strides are being made in diagnosing and treating vascular disease. More than ever before it is important to disseminate information about vascular disease and evolving therapies,” says Dr. Walker. “I am pleased to serve as the new editor of Vascular Disease Management and I am convinced that a web-based peer-reviewed journal will have capabilities that purely print journals cannot match.”

Vascular Disease Management addresses the latest in CLI, limb salvage, renal artery disease, embolic protection, aortic stent grafts, and carotid artery intervention, among other therapies. Similar to NCVH’s focus on the multidisciplinary approach, Vascular Disease Management reaches a diverse audience of clinicians, including interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, interventional neurologists, neurosurgeons, interventional radiologists, as well as nephrologists, endocrinologists, and podiatrists

"We are excited to welcome Craig Walker, a pioneer in the field of vascular interventions, as the clinical editor of Vascular Disease Management,” said Jeff Martin, vice president, Cardiology Division, HMP Communications. “As a web-based journal, Vascular Disease Management has the unique ability to publish articles, cases, and videos in a timely manner, and Dr. Walker will bring invaluable experience to our journal as an expert in multimedia and clinical education on vascular therapies."
