The European Heart Journal is a leading peer-reviewed medical journal of cardiology published by Oxford University Press on a weekly basis, on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology. The first journal was published in February 1980.
The medical journal publishes both clinical and scientific papers on all aspects of cardiovascular medicine. It includes articles related to research findings, technical evaluations, and reviews. In addition, the journal features reviews, clinical perspectives, podcasts, and editorial articles about recent developments in cardiology, and encourages correspondence from its readers. Another important aspect of the journal are the ESC Clinical Practice Guidelines, which cover all areas of cardiology.
In 2017, the journal achieved an impact factor of 23.425, which means that the journal is ranked the highest of 123 journals in cardiovascular medicine.
Prof. Thomas F. Lüscher (Royal Brompton and Harefield Hospital Trust, London und Universität Zürich, Schweiz) is the Editor-in-Chief. The editorial offices are located at the Zurich Heart House - Foundation for Cardiovascular Research in Zurich, where a team of 6 employees oversees all aspects of publication.
