JAMA Cardiology (jama-cardiology)
Journal positioning
JAMA Cardiology is a JAMA Network specialty journal for cardiovascular clinical
research relevant to the practice of cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. It favors
rigorous, practice-relevant work — randomized cardiovascular trials, large outcomes and
registry analyses, prevention and risk-factor studies, and cardiac imaging studies tied
to clinical outcomes — with JAMA's emphasis on hard endpoints, absolute risk, and
direct relevance to patient care. Mechanistic bench cardiology, small physiology
studies with surrogate-only readouts, and imaging-technique papers with no outcome link
are a weak fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid; it is not
clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions
for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live JAMA Cardiology author instructions.
When to trigger
The author names JAMA Cardiology for a cardiovascular clinical, outcomes, or
imaging-outcome study and wants a fit/framing check.
A cardiovascular study must be re-framed around a hard clinical endpoint (MACE,
mortality, hospitalization) for a practicing-cardiology audience.
The author is choosing between JAMA Cardiology, JAMA, and a cardiology-society
journal.
The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject
expectations for cardiovascular work.
Scope & topic fit
Randomized cardiovascular trials (drug, device, procedural, or strategy) with
clinically meaningful endpoints, including pragmatic and de-implementation designs.
Large outcomes, registry, and claims analyses on cardiovascular events, heart
failure, arrhythmia, and structural/interventional outcomes.
Cardiovascular prevention, risk-factor, lipid, hypertension, and population
cardiovascular-health studies.
Cardiac imaging (echo, CMR, CCT, nuclear) studies where the contribution is a
clinical-outcome or prognostic association, not a pure imaging technique.
Cardiovascular biomarker and risk-prediction studies validated against outcomes.
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses answering a focused cardiovascular question.
