Welcome


The British Journal of Cardiology is the most widely read cardiology journal in the UK, reaching hospital specialists and primary care physicians every two months.

  • The only bi-monthly journal which provides primary and secondary care with original research, clinical reviews, commentaries and news across a broad range of cardiovascular topics.
  • Exclusive original coverage of the fast developing field of cardiology written from the UK viewpoint.
  • Extensive opportunities for special projects including supplements, symposia reports and practical guidelines.

The British Journal of Cardiology provides reviews and discussions of current developments in cardiology and other relevant specialities to cardiologists and general practitioners with an interest in this field.

Original contributions to The British Journal of Cardiology are provided by cardiologists and affiliated nursing groups, predominantly from the UK, augmented by interested authorities from other countries, and are subject to peer-review. The journal's editorial emphasis is on therapeutic strategies, practical techniques and reviews of new drugs and indications. It includes case reports as well as news and views in all areas of cardiovascular medicine and heart disease.
