Guest Reviewers for The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon

We would like to extend our most sincere thanks to the 109 individuals listed below. All of them have voluntarily contributed to the quality of this journal by performing reviews upon invitation in the year 2010. Their dedication is essential for keeping the high standards of our bilaterally blinded peer review process. The workload ranged from one to twelve manuscripts, not counting the numerous revised versions.

The guest reviewers and the members of the International Advisory Board (who are marked with an asterisk *) share most of the burdens but few of the pleasures which editing a scientific journal implies. This modest “thank you” from the editorial staff and the publishers is meant to serve as an acknowledgement of your services. We hope you will continue to assist us in 2011.
