Editor's note: The CIT2021 online was held on May 6-9, and the meeting was rich, varied, and wonderful, containing several highlights including the opening of the meeting, the plenary session for partners, the release of the latest clinical trial, multiple surgical transmissions, and the clinical research summit. We invite Professor Ajay J. kirtane to introduce the hot topic of how to handle papers as authors and reviewers.
《International Circulation》：As an expert in the field of intervention and a reviewer of the paper, what is your opinion about the impressive new research results in the field of intervention this year?
Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane：The past year has produced many challenges, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, research has progressed, and I am just inspired by all of my colleagues who have managed to be productive despite all of the constraints of the last year.《International Circulation》：At present, what are the main areas of interventional research?
Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane：The major areas include coronary, structural, endovascular, and what I call “crossover” areas such as heart failure and hypertension. Within each area there are of course many sub-areas of intense investigation.《International Circulation》：What are your main concerns in the process of reviewing papers?
Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane：Beyond the writing style, the key questions relate to whether the database and analyses are accurate, and whether the data supports the conclusions drawn. For me one of the greatest concerns relates to investigators assuming causality from observational associations. We really need randomized data to make statements of cause and effect.《International Circulation》：What do you think should be done to write a good paper, and what advice do you have for Chinese scholars?
Dr. Ajay J. Kirtane：I think that like everything in life, practice makes perfect! Keep your mind fresh, because there are always new ideas to explore.
