Many thanks to Francesco Paneni, the newly appointed CardioPulse editor, for the opportunity to present this article in the European Heart Journal, weekly journal of the European Society of Cardiology, and to Amelia Meier for expertly steering the article through production.

CardioPulse is the section at the beginning of the EHJ covering news of interest to cardiologists. It was borne of “the need to tell success stories in Cardiovascular Medicine, increase the visibility of centers of excellence, interview leaders in Cardiology, [and] critically address timely issues”.
