<p><bold>Dear colleagues</bold>,</p>
<p>We have reached the end of the 2022-2023 administration with great joy and fulfillment regarding our journal, ABC Imagem Cardiovascular. Over the past two years, there has been a significant effort by the directors of the Cardiovascular Imaging Department (DIC) to constantly grow our journal and make progress with indexations. This required everyone involved, including editors, reviewers, and especially authors who submitted incredible papers on all subjects, to demonstrate unwavering commitment to this cause.</p>
<p>Of note is the increase in the number of papers published yearly, allowing our journal to remain internationally relevant. Another notable development last year was the introduction of Clarivate&#x27;s ScholarOne submission and review system. This tool played a key role in improving our submission processes and facilitating the integration between journals of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology&#x27;s ABC family.</p>
<p>As for indexations, we managed to join the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) in August 2022. The journal was then submitted to SciELO Brazil in September 2023, and we are currently still under their analysis process. Nonetheless, all this progress is a reflection of prior administrations, as well as the current one, all of whom paid special attention to the scientific segment of our department and prioritized quality across all of our publications.</p>
<p>I would like to list the names of past editors-in-chief and the dates of their tenures, as they were essential to bringing our journal to its current standards:</p>

<p>I would like to offer special thanks to Andr&#xE9; Almeida, president of the Department of Cardiovascular Imaging, who prioritized our journal throughout his entire tenure and contributed to its growth and advancement. I would also like to thank Silvio Henrique Barberato, chief officer of the current administration, for his support during the initial transition and during the challenges we faced down this journey. I wish him success during the next tenure as president of the DIC.</p>
<p>Important people like Marcelo Vieira and Ana Cristina Camarozano were indispensable during our efforts to make our journal go global, actively contributing to international invitations. Finally, I would like to thank the team of associate editors with whom I had the honor and joy of working. They are highly skilled people who dedicated themselves immensely to our journal and DIC. Without them, none of this would have been possible. I would also like to thank Simone Nascimento dos Santos, Viviane Tiemi Hotta, Leonardo Sara da Silva, Karen Saori Shiraishi Sawamura, Marco Stephan Lofrano Alves, Tiago Senra Garcia dos Santos, Rafael Willian Lopes, Alexandre Costa Souza, Laura Mercer-Rosa, Rhanderson Miller Nascimento Cardoso, and Cristiane Singulane.</p>
<p>Thank you for this opportunity and all your support over these last two years, during which I had the chance to meet and work with wonderful and skilled people, not to mention all the friendships we have forged over this time. I wish the next editor-in-chief Marcelo Dantas Tavares all the best, and I hope they accomplish all of their goals.</p>
<p>Thank you very much,</p>

<p><bold>Queridos Colegas</bold>,</p>
<p>Chegamos ao final da gest&#xE3;o 2022-2023 com grande alegria e a sensa&#xE7;&#xE3;o de dever cumprido em rela&#xE7;&#xE3;o &#xE0; nossa revista ABC Imagem Cardiovascular. Nesses dois anos, houve um empenho significativo por parte da diretoria do Departamento de Imagem Cardiovascular (DIC) para manter nossa revista em constante crescimento e progredir nas indexa&#xE7;&#xF5;es. Isso exigiu comprometimento por parte de todos os editores associados, revisores e, principalmente, dos autores, que enviaram artigos fant&#xE1;sticos em todas as modalidades.</p>
<p>Destacamos o aumento no n&#xFA;mero de artigos publicados anualmente, mantendo a internacionaliza&#xE7;&#xE3;o da nossa revista. Um avan&#xE7;o not&#xE1;vel no &#xFA;ltimo ano foi a ado&#xE7;&#xE3;o do sistema de submiss&#xE3;o e revis&#xE3;o ScholarOne, da Clarivate. Esta ferramenta foi essencial para aprimorar nosso processo de submiss&#xE3;o e facilitar a integra&#xE7;&#xE3;o entre as revistas da fam&#xED;lia ABC da Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia.</p>
<p>No que diz respeito &#xE0;s indexa&#xE7;&#xF5;es, conquistamos em agosto de 2022 a inclus&#xE3;o no DOAJ (<italic>Directory of Open Access Journals</italic>). A revista foi submetida em setembro de 2023 ao SciELO Brasil, e estamos em processo de avalia&#xE7;&#xE3;o. Todo esse crescimento &#xE9; reflexo de gest&#xF5;es anteriores, assim como a atual, que t&#xEA;m um olhar especial para a parte cient&#xED;fica do nosso departamento e priorizam a qualidade de tudo que &#xE9; publicado.</p>
<p>Gostaria de nomear, com a data de suas respectivas gest&#xF5;es, os editores-chefes que me antecederam, os quais foram fundamentais para colocar a revista no patamar em que est&#xE1;:</p>

<p>Um agradecimento especial ao presidente do Departamento de Imagem Cardiovascular, Andr&#xE9; Almeida, que valorizou e contribuiu para o crescimento e proje&#xE7;&#xE3;o da revista durante toda sua gest&#xE3;o. Agrade&#xE7;o, tamb&#xE9;m, a Silvio Henrique Barberato, diretor administrativo da gest&#xE3;o atual, pelo suporte na transi&#xE7;&#xE3;o inicial e nos desafios ao longo dessa jornada.

Por fim, agrade&#xE7;o ao time de editores associados, com quem tive a honra e a felicidade de trabalhar. Pessoas competentes que se dedicaram muito &#xE0; revista e ao DIC. Sem eles, nada disso seria poss&#xED;vel.

<p>Termino agradecendo pela oportunidade e apoio ao longo desses dois anos, nos quais tive a alegria de conviver e conhecer pessoas queridas e competentes, e especialmente pelos amigos adquiridos nessa jornada. Desejo ao pr&#xF3;ximo editor-chefe, Marcelo Dantas Tavares, sucesso e a realiza&#xE7;&#xE3;o de seus objetivos.</p>
<p>Um grande abra&#xE7;o a todos,</p>
