Heart Lung and Circulation

Heart Lung and Circulation (ISSN 1443-9506) is a monthly, peer-reviewed medical journal published in Australia by the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ). As an international publication indexed in the Science Citation Index (SCI), it serves as a significant forum for disseminating research in the fields of cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary medicine. The journal encompasses a broad spectrum of scholarly contributions, including original basic and clinical research, case reports, and comprehensive reviews, with a particular emphasis on the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of heart, lung, and circulatory system disorders. While it maintains a recognized standing within the cardiovascular community, its impact factor typically ranges between 2 and 3, placing it generally in the third or fourth quartile of the medical sciences according to the Chinese Academy of Sciences journal ranking. Operating as a non-open access publication, Heart Lung and Circulation offers a moderate level of competitive intensity for authors, making it a suitable venue for researchers seeking to share high-quality work with a specialized audience, provided they adhere to the journal’s rigorous academic standards and account for potential variations in review timelines across different sub-disciplines.
