The Japanese Heart Journal is published bi-monthly by the Japanese 
Heart Journal Association. They are manuscripts reporting original work 
in the fields of clinical or experimental cardiovascular research, case 
reports, letters and all other editorial communications.  Online issues 
are Open Access and free. Issues date back to 1999. 

Submissions: Final acceptability is subject to review by the Editorial 
Committee.

Manuscripts: Three copies of all manuscripts and figures (high quality 
photos) should be submitted. Manuscripts should be printed on one side of 
good quality paper with double spacing and liberal margins. Pages are to be 
consecutively numbered. The first page should include: the title, full names 
of the authors with academic degrees, institutions, sources of any grants 
(if the authors wish), running title not to exceed 50 letters (including 
spaces), and the address for mailing proofs. The second page should contain 
a concise summary and up to 10 key words or short phrases not used in the 
title. The summary should not exceed 250 words.

The introduction to the paper, unlabeled, should provide a brief statement 
of the specific topic under study and its relation to the field with which 
the subject is concerned.  Following the introduction, original articles 
should, as a general rule, be organized with the following headings: 
Methods (materials and methods), Results, Discussion, and, if necessary, 
Conclusion. The Methods should contain explicit and concise descriptions 
of all methods or procedures and materials used in the work. The Methods 
section should include specific methods used to prepare the data and the 
level of significance used for hypothesis testing. The Results ordinarily 
contain the data presented without extended discussion of their significance. 
The Discussion should be pertinent to the Results and as concise as possible 
within the limits of the ideas the authors wish to convey.
