[en] In 2019, a total of 70 original scientific papers or reviews were published in Acta Cardiologica. In this paper, we focus on the 10 best papers that we selected based upon the innovative character and/or upon the clinical relevance of their research. In different domains of cardiology, we highlight the most important findings from these 10 best research papers.
