Heart is a biweekly peer-reviewed medical journal covering all areas of cardiovascular medicine and surgery. It is the official journal of the British Cardiovascular Society. It was established in 1939 as the British Heart Journal and is published by BMJ.[1]
Topics covered include coronary disease, electrophysiology, valve disease, imaging techniques, congenital heart disease (fetal, paediatric and adult), heart failure, surgery, and basic science. Each issue contains an extensive continuing professional education section (Education in Heart), a "JournalScan" blog that highlights important papers from outside the cardiology literature, and research highlights collated by the editor in a feature called "Heartbeat".[1]
Heart is available online by subscription and archived editions of the journal from before 2006 are available free of charge. The journal also records podcasts with authors of key articles and posts blogs. The journal is edited by Dr Catherine Otto of the University of Washington in Seattle, USA.[1]
Heart was also the former title of the journal Clinical Science.
