In that case, we will work together with the authors to add 2-3 CME questions after acceptance of the paper. The editorial board will select certain cases for a central illustration. Authors will be notified and they will work with a professional illustrator and the editors to create the illustration. How to write a clinical case Articles should be laid out as follows: Title: 15 words or less. Hyphenated words count as a single word, and single terms comprising 2 words also count as a single word (i.e., de novo, in situ, in vivo, ex vivo). Abstract: 50 words or less History of Presentation: how the patient was admitted, physical examination Past Medical History Differential Diagnosis Investigations Management (medical/ interventions) Discussion: association with current guidelines/position papers/current practice Follow- Up Conclusions Learning Objectives CLINICAL CASE SERIES These should consist of 2 or more clinical cases/patients of the same clinical condition and should include a description of patients' presentation, diagnostic work-up, interventions, and outcomes (Patient 1, Patient 2, etc.). Relevant images should be included. The case presentation should be structured in stages, with expert commentary supplied between stages, in order to aid and educate the reader about key differential diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. At the end, a discussion of the case along with “take-home messages” should be given.

Editors are not involved in decisions about papers which they have written themselves or have been written by family members or institutional colleagues or which relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal's usual procedures, with peer review handled independently of the relevant editor and their research groups. ETHICS Manuscript submissions should conform to the guidelines set forth in the “Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals,” available online and most recently updated in December 2019. Studies should be in compliance with human studies committees and Animal welfare regulations of the authors' institutions and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration guidelines. Human studies must be performed with the subjects' written informed consent. Authors must provide the details of this procedure and indicate that the institutional committee on human research has approved the study protocol. If radiation is used in a research procedure, the radiation exposure must be specified in the Methods. PATIENT CONSENT Publication of any individually identifiable information about a living individual requires a written consent under HIPAA known as a ?HIPAA authorization? from the individual or the individual?s guardian. Written consent may also be required under other federal, state, local or international laws. These consents are referred to herein globally as ?consents.? While consents cannot be uploaded in the ACC submission site, authors are required to obtain them where necessary and to document in the submission data that they were obtained. ACC requires that authors obtain any necessary consents before initial submission to avoid delays if the submission is accepted for publication. Additionally, if a submission is accepted, authors will have to sign a form confirming they have obtained all necessary consents The authors of each submission are fully responsible for obtaining any necessary consents. Additionally, if you are conducting research on human subjects you are required to obtain: (1) institutional review board approval and (2) (a) informed consent or (b) a waiver of informed consent in accordance with applicable law. Such institutional review board approval must be completed prior to commencement of the research. The author?s submission should clearly articulate the institutional review board?s determination as to whether informed consent was required or waived. If the consent is subject to conditions, please inform ACC upon submission of your paper. In certain scenarios, the institutional review board or your institution may determine that the research is exempt, and oversight is not required in accordance with applicable law and institutional policy. If so, the exemption must be documented in the submission. *Note that submission of individual case reports (Clinical Cases, Clinical Case Series, Imaging Vignettes, etc.) to JACC: Case Reports will not require institutional review board approval but will require consent.* Individual?s privacy is paramount to ethical research. Therefore, identifying information, including individuals? names, initials, hospital numbers, and images should not be included in videos, recordings, written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and only the minimum necessary identifiable information is articulated in the research. Even where consent/ authorization has been given, identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide an assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning. Unless individually identifiable information is essential, all submissions should be de-identified and anonymized in accordance with applicable international, federal, state and local laws. As stated above you are responsible for obtaining all necessary HIPAA authorizations and consents under applicable law, including but not limited to obtaining permissions to de-identify and anonymize information included in the submission. In instances where information will be included from deceased individuals, consents should be obtained from the deceased individual?s next of kin or legal representative in accordance with applicable law.
