RESUMO
The Editors' Network of the European Society of Cardiology provides a dynamic forum for editorial discussions and endorses the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) to improve the scientific quality of biomedical journals. Authorship confers credit and important academic rewards. Recently, however, the ICMJE emphasized that authorship also requires responsibility and accountability. These issues are now covered by the new (fourth) criterion for authorship. Authors should agree to be accountable and ensure that questions regarding the accuracy and integrity of the entire work will be appropriately addressed. This review discusses the implications of this paradigm shift on authorship requirements with the aim of increasing awareness on good scientific and editorial practices.

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) provides recommendations to improve the editorial standards and scientific quality of biomedical journals. These recommendations range from uniform technical requirements to more complex and elusive editorial issues including ethical aspects of the scientific process. Recently, registration of clinical trials, conflicts of interest disclosure, and new criteria for authorship- emphasizing the importance of responsibility and accountability-, have been proposed. Last year, a new editorial initiative to foster sharing of clinical trial data was launched. This review discusses this novel initiative with the aim of increasing awareness among readers, investigators, authors and editors belonging to the Editors' Network of the European Society of Cardiology.

La Red de Editores de la Sociedad Europea de Cardiología (SEC) proporciona un foro dinámico para debates editoriales y respalda las recomendaciones del Comité Internacional de Editores de Revistas Médicas (ICMJE) para mejorar la calidad científica de las revistas biomédicas. La autoría confiere crédito e importantes recompensas académicas. Recientemente, sin embargo, el ICMJE enfatizó que la autoría también requiere responsabilidad y compromiso. Estos problemas ahora están cubiertos por el nuevo (cuarto) criterio de autoría. Los autores deben aceptar ser responsables y garantizar que las preguntas sobre la precisión y la integridad de todo el trabajo será abordado adecuadamente. Esta revisión discute las implicaciones de este cambio de paradigma en requisitos de autoría con el objetivo de aumentar la conciencia sobre las buenas prácticas científicas y editoriales.

Resumo O Comitê Internacional de Editores de Revistas Médicas (ICMJE) fornece recomendações para aprimorar o padrão editorial e a qualidade científica das revistas biomédicas. Tais recomendações variam desde requisitos técnicos de uniformização até assuntos editoriais mais complexos e elusivos, como os aspectos éticos do processo científico. Recentemente, foram propostos registro de ensaios clínicos, divulgação de conflitos de interesse e novos critérios de autoria, enfatizando a importância da responsabilidade e da responsabilização. No último ano, lançou-se uma nova iniciativa editorial para fomentar o compartilhamento dos dados de ensaios clínicos. Esta revisão discute essa nova iniciativa visando a aumentar a conscientização de leitores, investigadores, autores e editores filiados à Rede de Editores da Sociedade Europeia de Cardiologia.

AIMS: The European Society of Cardiology Heart Failure Long-Term Registry (ESC-HF-LT-R) was set up with the aim of describing the clinical epidemiology and the 1-year outcomes of patients with heart failure (HF) with the added intention of comparing differences between participating countries. METHODS AND RESULTS: The ESC-HF-LT-R is a prospective, observational registry contributed to by 211 cardiology centres in 21 European and/or Mediterranean countries, all being member countries of the ESC. Between May 2011 and April 2013 it collected data on 12 440 patients, 40.5% of them hospitalized with acute HF (AHF) and 59.5% outpatients with chronic HF (CHF). The all-cause 1-year mortality rate was 23.6% for AHF and 6.4% for CHF. The combined endpoint of mortality or HF hospitalization within 1 year had a rate of 36% for AHF and 14.5% for CHF. All-cause mortality rates in the different regions ranged from 21.6% to 36.5% in patients with AHF, and from 6.9% to 15.6% in those with CHF. These differences in mortality between regions are thought reflect differences in the characteristics and/or management of these patients. CONCLUSION: The ESC-HF-LT-R shows that 1-year all-cause mortality of patients with AHF is still high while the mortality of CHF is lower. This registry provides the opportunity to evaluate the management and outcomes of patients with HF and identify areas for improvement.

BACKGROUND: Changes in mean blood pressure (MBP) alter coronary blood flow (CBF). We evaluated the acute effects of three hypotensive medications on CBF parameters in angiographically normal coronary arteries. METHODS: We performed CBF measurements using the Doppler wire at rest and during hyperemia produced by intracoronary adenosine (18 microg) as follows: 1) in the normal left circumflex coronary artery in 20 patients with coronary artery disease (measurements were performed without drugs, and after intravenous infusion of nitroprusside [0.5 to 2 microg/kg/min] and nitroglycerin [10 to 90 microg/min]; drugs were titrated to decrease MBP 20% to 25% below the control values, and heart rate was held constant using right atrial pacing); and 2) in the normal left anterior descending coronary artery in 19 patients without coronary artery disease (measurements were performed before and after intravenous clonidine infusion [150 microg in 5 min]; time-averaged peak velocity [APV], CBF, and coronary flow reserve [CFR] were measured). RESULTS: Similar decreases in MBP were obtained in the two patient groups. Lumen diameter at the site of Doppler measurements increased after all medications (P <.005), whereas CBF did not change significantly. The CFR decreased after nitroprusside (1.79 +/- 0.48 v 2.54 +/- 0.45, P=.000), did not change significantly after nitroglycerin (2.74 +/- 0.43 v 2.54 +/- 0.45, P =.097), and increased after clonidine (3.12 +/- 0.70 v 2.76 +/- 0.75, P =.006). CONCLUSIONS: In normal coronary arteries the infusion of three hypotensive medications to produce the same decreases in MBP is associated with different effects on CFR (increase with clonidine, decrease with nitroprusside, and no change with nitroglycerin).
