REC: Interventional Cardiology. Fulfilling an unmet need

Abstract

Dear colleagues, This is one of those assignments that one willingly accepts with joy. Have the opportunity to present the birth of our most exciting project so far is an honor and a pleasure. When we joined the board of directors of the «working group» —the most commonly used term to refer to our Working Group on Hemodynamics and Interventional Cardiology (SHCI) at the Spanish Society of Cardiology— we committed ourselves to the development and implementation of this project. Yet we did not know whether we would be able to deliver the first issue before our term was over. Well, here it is. On time. And all the credit in the world should go to our unbelievable editorial team: the enthusiasm from Dr. de la Torre Hernández, MD as editor-in-chief; the determination from Dr. Alfonso, MD and Dr. Sanchis, MD, and the coordination from Iria del Río as head of the editorial team. From the very first meeting where we felt the warmth and support from both Dr. Ferreira, MD -the actual editor-in-chief of Revista Española de Cardiología- and the Spanish Society of Cardiology executive committee, our board of directors started working giving full back up to this project.
