The Argentine Journal of Cardiology retracts the article: "Shaggy Aorta: Ideal Substrate for Disaster" by Kevin Velarde-Acosta et al., published in the Argentine Journal of Cardiology 2025; 93 (1): 25-30.

The article, which was originally submitted in English, underwent a thorough review process that included translation, multiple corrections, and collaborative discussions with the authors during the final months of 2024 and the early months of 2025. After its publication, we became aware that the same paper, with minor differences, had been published in English in Archivos Peruanos de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular in September (see Archivos Peruanos de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular 2024;5(3):143-152). This constitutes a violation of the principles of originality and duplicate publication established by our editorial policy and international guidelines for scientific publications. During the course of the communication process, the author did not inform us that the article had just been published in another journal.

The Argentine Journal of Cardiology deeply regrets this situation, extends its apologies to Archivos Peruanos de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular and reiterates its commitment to scientific integrity and compliance with ethical standards in academic publishing.
