Use when targeting Circulation (AHA) or deciding whether a cardiovascular manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Circulation (circulation)

## Journal positioning

Circulation is the flagship journal of the American Heart Association and the premier general-cardiology venue in North America. It publishes practice-changing clinical trials, mechanistic and translational cardiovascular science, AHA scientific statements, and population-based epidemiology — all judged against whether the result can shift AHA guidelines or reshape cardiovascular clinical thinking at a broad readership of clinicians, clinical investigators, and cardiovascular scientists. The AHA identity means papers must speak to both bench and bedside; a pure-mechanism paper with no translational bridge, or a minor clinical audit, will not clear the bar.

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 AHA / Circulation publisher site and submission system.

## When to trigger

- The author names Circulation or the AHA as the target venue for a cardiovascular manuscript.
- A cardiovascular RCT, mechanistic study, or epidemiologic cohort paper needs venue selection among Circulation, JACC, or EHJ.
- A manuscript covering an AHA priority area (heart failure, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, stroke, resuscitation) requires framing guidance.
- The author needs Circulation's specific desk-reject risks and a ranked alternative list before submitting.
