London – 27 February 2013: Radcliffe, a subsidiary of Electric Word plc, today announces the acquisition of journals Interventional Cardiology Review and Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review. Radcliffe is fast developing its offerings in a number of secondary care arenas, and the acquisition of two highly-respected peer-reviewed journals aimed at supporting best practice at the cutting edge of cardiovascular care are core to this strategy.
As part of the acquisition, Radcliffe has also taken ownership of RadcliffeCardiology.com (formerly TouchCardiology.com), an online platform that offers free access to thousands of speciality and general interest cardiology articles contributed by opinion leaders from across the field.
Accessed by thousands of physicians monthly, RadcliffeCardiology.com also hosts a range of multimedia content – including expert round tables and clinics – and aims to provide practical support for ongoing professional development of cardiovascular-related professionals.
David Ramsey, Commercial Development Director at Radcliffe, commented, “This acquisition significantly strengthens our portfolio in secondary care publishing, and is consistent with our core goal of supporting life-long learning for health professionals. We will endeavour to build on the journals’ already excellent reputations at the heart of cardiovascular practice, and develop further RadcliffeCardiology.com as a trusted and authoritative resource to support best practice in the CathLab and beyond.”
