CVWellens

CVWellens is a nonprofit online platform focused on cardiovascular science, education, and clinical practice. It aggregates peer-reviewed articles, expert reviews, case discussions, and patient education materials to serve clinicians, researchers, and students. The platform seeks to translate current research and guidelines into practical, evidence-based resources for daily use in patient care.

CVWellens was established in 2012 by a collaboration of cardiology departments, medical educators, and researchers seeking open-access resources for training and practice. It began as a repository of lecture notes and case discussions and gradually expanded into a comprehensive portal with multimedia content, curated libraries, and regional editorial teams. The project has since grown to include international contributors and multilingual materials.

Its core offerings include a searchable library of articles and reviews, interactive case-based scenarios, concise guideline summaries, risk calculators, and printable patient information sheets. The platform also hosts forums, collaborative spaces, and CME modules, enabling education and collaboration across institutions.

CVWellens maintains an editorial board that oversees content quality, peer review, and transparency of sources. Editorial policies emphasize accuracy, corrections of errors, and clear licensing. While much of the material is curated, it also accepts user-contributed content subject to review.

Users range from medical students and residents to practicing cardiologists and researchers. The platform is valued for breadth and accessibility but users are advised to verify critical information against primary sources and guidelines, as quality can vary across community-contributed materials.
