Abstract
Abstract
Aim. The present study was conducted to determine the relationship between seasonal changes and incidence of AMI in Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran.
Background. Although various studies have been carried out to examine the relationship between seasonal changes and incidence of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) in different parts of the world, many of them have limitations and there are many contradictions between their findings. Despite considerable prevalence of AMI in Sistan and Baluchestan Province, similar studies have not been conducted in this area.
Method. This cross-sectional study was done based on medical data of heart center of Sistan and Baluchestan Province from March 2015 to April 2016. In this study, census sampling was achieved of all the patients with AMI symptoms. Variables such as age, sex, marital status, birth date, physical symptoms, and past medical history; and also meteorological parameters such as minimum, maximum and average of temperature (Celsius), and wind direction were collected.
Findings. Except of mean rainfall, mean rate of other parameters had statistically significant differences during 12-month period of the study. Spearman correlation test showed a positive statistically significant correlation of incidence of AMI during one year with sunshine hours (r=0.685, p=0.014), and maximum daily temperature (r=0.626, p=0.030).
Conclusion. Finding revealed that raising temperature had direct relationship with incidence of AMI. The findings could be a foundation for governmental important health plans to control the incidence of AMI.

Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study is assessment the status of altmerics of the articles in the Iranian Cardiovascular journals indexed in Scopus by using the PlumX during 2014-2016.
Background. With the change in the pattern of accessing to the electronic content of journals, new spaces for scientific and research evaluations have emerged in different ways. Plam Analytics strives to provide research metrics for all types of the research outputs.
Method. The purpose of this study is descriptive and applied in a descriptive study. The number of active Iranian cardiovascular journals in Scopus is based on the SCImago over a defined period include ARYA Atherosclerosis ، International Cardiovascular Research Journal, Journal of Tehran University Heart Center and Iranian Heart Journal , which had published 671 articles on the Scopus and all were included in the study.
Findings. The results showed that the number of usage of articles in journals of ARYA Atherosclerosis, Journal of Tehran University Heart Center and Iranian Heart Journal was zero and the rate of usage of articles published by International Cardiovascular Research Journal were 130 times. Results showed that the number of the capture of articles published by ARYA Atherosclerosis were 134 times, International Cardiovascular Research Journal were 347, Journal of Tehran University Heart Center was 195 and Iranian Heart Journal was 223. The results showed that the number of presence of articles published by the Iranian journals in the cardiovascular field indexed in Scopus on social networks and mention to these articles was zero. A total of 671 articles were cited 1030 times.
Conclusion. The results of this study showed that PlumX indices in the Iranian cardiovascular articles were very low and in some cases was zero.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. This study aimed to explain the practice of governance in Iran's infertility control policies, with a specific focus on cardiovascular risk care for infertile women, drawing on the TAPIC analytical framework (Transparency, Accountability, Participation, Integrity, and policy Capacity).
Background. As a reproductive health issue with major demographic dimensions, infertility has gained a prominent place on Iran's health-sector agenda over the past two decades, coinciding with a shift in national population policy toward raising fertility rates. Alongside this policy attention, growing evidence indicates that infertility itself, particularly ovulatory-disorder infertility such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), as well as assisted reproductive treatments, is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) later in life, a risk that has received limited attention within Iran's infertility control policies, which have mainly focused on expanding access and financial coverage for treatment.
Method. This study employed a document-based, directed qualitative content analysis of the international and national (Persian-language) peer-reviewed literature. Findings were categorized and analyzed across the five TAPIC domains. The study relies entirely on the review and analysis of existing texts and documents, without primary data collection or interviews.
Findings. The evidence indicates that Iran's infertility control policies face governance challenges across all five TAPIC domains regarding cardiovascular risk coverage for infertile women: limited transparency in recording infertile women's cardiovascular history within health information systems; unclear accountability between infertility and cardiology services; limited participation of cardiologists in the formulation of infertility guidelines; weak integration between cardiometabolic screening and infertility treatment pathways; and limited policy and infrastructural capacity for systematic cardiovascular risk screening in infertility clinics. Comparison with selected country experiences (including the UK's regulatory system and international PCOS guidelines) shows that integrating cardiovascular screening into infertility care pathways remains incomplete even in advanced health systems.
Conclusion. Strengthening the governance of Iran's infertility control policies requires the formal integration of cardiovascular screening and care into infertility service pathways, clearly defined accountability between infertility and cardiology services, the engagement of cardiologists in policymaking, and investment in workforce and information-system capacity-building.
