Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia

Aims & Scope

The Portuguese Journal of Cardiology, the official journal of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, was founded in 1982 with the aim of keeping Portuguese cardiologists informed through the publication of scientific articles on areas such as arrhythmology and electrophysiology, cardiovascular surgery, intensive care, coronary artery disease, cardiovascular imaging, hypertension, heart failure and cardiovascular prevention.

The Journal is a monthly publication with high standards of quality in terms of scientific content and production.

Since 1999 it has been published in English as well as Portuguese, which has widened its readership abroad.

It is distributed to all members of the Portuguese Societies of Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Pneumology and Cardiothoracic Surgery, as well as to leading non-Portuguese cardiologists and to virtually all cardiology societies worldwide.

It has been referred in Medline since 1987.
