Diagnostic & Invasive Cardiology (DAIC) is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2010. It began as part of the broad coverage in Medical Electronics and Equipment News (MEEN). As medicine became more specialized, so too have our publications. The cardiac technology was spun off into Cardiology and Critical Care Technology in 1999. DAIC evolved as a stand-alone magazine in 2002 to serve specialists in the cath lab, cardiac imaging and diagnostic testing.
New Editorial Advisory Board Members
DAIC is introducing its new Editorial Advisory Board for 2010. We assembled experts involved in the various specialties the magazine covers to help guide coverage, discuss trends and offer their insights.
