Abstract: . The response to the Special Issue announcement as represented by the papers published here reflect where cardiovascular behavioral medicine (CVBM) has been, where our field needs to go, and how we might get there. We see needs (a) to expand our research beyond the epidemiologic and mechanistic studies that have dominated the field and to refocus our science on the design, testing, and implementation of integrated interventions and health care delivery models; (b) to fully integrate CVBM patient care into holistic, team-based cardiovascular care, which will require a louder voice and a place at the table with institutions and organizations that formulate health care reimbursement policies; and (c) to create new models of clinical and research training to develop a workforce that is well prepared to achieve these visions of CVBM research and patient care. Here, we elaborate on our view of these needs, identify barriers to realizing these visions, and discuss paths forward in science, patient care, and training to maximize the impact of cardiovascular behavioral medicine.
