<i>Circulation</i> Global Rounds

e live in a time characterized by rising nationalism, a renewed focus on national boundaries, and even border walls, some extant and others proposed.At the same time and in stark contrast with these global trends, cardiovascular disease knows no such boundaries.Its touch transcends nations; its impact is felt by all ethnic, racial, and religious groups and spans diverse socioeconomic strata and class.Regardless of our background, environment, and disposition, each of us is vulnerable to its reach.Just like cardiovascular disease, Circulation knows no boundaries.Our journal strives to have meaningful impact on the global consequences of cardiovascular disease by identifying, vetting, and fostering the best science across the full spectrum of investigation-fundamental, discovery research, translational studies, human physiology, clinical trials, and population and implementation science.To accomplish these goals, we have developed a strategy that leverages the energies of thought leaders positioned around the globe-in 15 countries spanning 10 time zones.We are proud that Circulation "has boots on the ground around the world, shining a bright light on the best science emerging globally." 1 In doing this, we draw inspiration from our predecessors who expanded the journal's content and purview.When Circulation was founded in 1950, then president of the American Heart Association, H. M. Marvin, noted that its name "most clearly indicates the journal's new scope-the entire circulation rather than the heart alone." 2 Later, in 1993, the scope of the journal's readership was the contemplative target of incoming Editor-in-Chief James T. Willerson, who proclaimed, "Circulation, although published by the American Heart Association, is a journal of cardiovascular medicine for the world." 3 He recruited more foreign-based and female physician/scientists, as well as basic scientists, to join the Editorial Board, and he "made other efforts to be inclusive of the general cardiovascular community."3 Under the leadership of Joseph Loscalzo, the journal accelerated this emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and global perspective.Fast forward to the 21st century.We announce here an exciting new initiative designed to capture and galvanize the diverse strengths of the international cardiovascular community by launching Circulation Global Rounds.We will capitalize on our global positioning to foster meaningful exchanges with thought leaders around the world.On a roughly quarterly basis, we will solicit their unique regional insights.What can the rest of us learn from them?Our overriding objective is to gauge the face of cardiovascular medicine and science around the world.Whereas a comprehensive discussion of all specifics is not likely to be feasible, we will ask our authors to select among the following topics:1. Provide an overview of the regional epidemiology of cardiovascular disease; 2. Delineate the most important challenges in cardiovascular medicine and how these challenges are being addressed;
