The Journal of Cardiovascular and Pulse Research is committed to advancing innovation and excellence in cardiovascular science through high-quality publication of:
• Original research studies
• Clinical case reports and cardiovascular teaching cases
• Technical and procedural notes
• Review articles and expert perspectives
Our mission is to promote scientific communication and clinical education by disseminating research that improves patient outcomes, strengthens clinical decision-making, and contributes to global cardiovascular knowledge.
We welcome submissions from:
• Cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons
• Pulse and circulatory researchers
• Multidisciplinary clinical and academic groups
• Professionals advancing cardiac safety and hemodynamic care standards
The Journal of Cardiovascular and Pulse Research publishes a wide range of article types, all subjected to double-blind peer review for quality and relevance.
• Manuscripts must be in clear, professional English.
• Authors are encouraged to seek editing support if English is not their first language.
• Use of APA 7th Edition for references unless otherwise indicated.
• Define abbreviations at first use; minimize jargon.
• Title Page: Title, full author names and affiliations, ORCID iDs, corresponding author’s contact info, and a short running title (≤50 characters).
• Abstract: Structured for research articles (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusion); unstructured or omitted for other types. 250–300 words.
• Keywords: 5–7 key terms for indexing.
• Main Text: Organize with clear headings: Introduction, Methods (or Case Description), Results, Discussion, and Conclusion.
• Acknowledgments: Funding, technical assistance, and contributors not qualifying for authorship.
• Conflict of Interest: Disclose all financial or non-financial conflicts.
• Data Availability Statement: Indicate where supporting data can be accessed or justify limitations.
