I regret to announce that this will be the last issue of Cardiovascular Engineering. Launched in 2001, Cardiovascular Engineering strived to increase the number of articles submitted and published. The number of submissions is no longer adequate to maintain the journal and we have decided to cease publication.

We are grateful to the time, effort and expertise of our Editor-in-Chief, Dr. John K-J. Li. We also thank the Editorial Board for their years of service to the journal. These editors and the reviewers who spent time ensuring only quality manuscripts were accepted have been a great help to Cardiovascular Engineering.

All articles published in the journal will remain online. They will continue to be read and provide an on-going legacy for the journal.
