ACTA CARDIOLOGICA

Acta Cardiologica is a distinguished international journal dedicated to the field of cardiology, published in Brussels, Belgium, with the ISSN 0001-5385. As a bimonthly publication, it serves as a significant platform for disseminating research in both clinical cardiology and basic and translational cardiovascular science, with a particular emphasis on epidemiology, diagnostic techniques, therapeutic strategies, and prognostic assessment. The journal’s scope encompasses a wide array of cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, and cardiovascular imaging. Indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), Acta Cardiologica holds a respectable standing in the academic community, typically ranked in the third or fourth quartile of the medical category according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking, and maintains an impact factor generally ranging between 1.5 and 2.0. While it is not currently an open-access journal, its long history and established reputation in the European and international cardiology communities make it a valuable venue for researchers seeking a stable publication outlet, particularly those involved in clinical or basic research who can accommodate its moderate rejection rate and relatively longer peer-review process.
