# European Heart Journal (european-heart-journal)

## Journal positioning

The European Heart Journal is the flagship journal of the European Society of Cardiology, published by Oxford University Press, and the premier cardiovascular venue for European and international readership. EHJ's editorial identity is built around ESC guideline-informing clinical trials, pan-European registry analyses, and large-scale epidemiology — with an explicit ESC-member and multinational-trial culture that distinguishes it from Circulation (AHA) and JACC (ACC). Translational papers are welcome but must carry clear clinical relevance; registry data leveraging EuroSCORE, EuroHeart, or ESC-sponsored databases have a natural home here. The readership is the broad ESC membership: European and international cardiologists, internists, and cardiovascular researchers who follow ESC guideline cycles.

This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ESC / Oxford University Press EHJ platform.

## When to trigger

- The author names EHJ or the ESC as the target venue for a cardiovascular manuscript.
- A multinational European cardiovascular trial or cohort study needs venue selection among EHJ, Circulation, and JACC.
- A paper linked to ESC guideline development, position papers, or ESC consensus documents is being prepared.
- The author needs EHJ's desk-reject risks and alternative-venue guidance before submitting.
