Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal

What's new? 
HRS Journal Portfolio Update (4/10/2024)

After a review of the HRS journal portfolio, the HRS Board of Trustees has decided to incorporate Heart Rhythm O2 and Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal into a new open-access journal concept to better align with the Society’s strategic plan and an evolving publishing landscape.
 
The reimagined journal will retain the primary title of Heart Rhythm O2 and will concentrate on advancing the objective of driving innovation, with a particular focus on global perspectives and cardiovascular digital health. Continuing the Heart Rhythm O2 primary title will allow the journal to maintain its current impact factor (IF). A new Journal Transition Task Force has been established to provide recommendations for facilitating support and establishing a structure for the new journal's success.
 
The last issue of Cardiovascular Digital Health Journal will publish in June 2024 and the submission portal will close on May 1, 2024. The new Heart Rhythm O2 journal is scheduled to launch January 2025.
 
Additionally, the Board confirmed continued publication of Heart Rhythm and Heart Rhythm Case Reports while diversifying editors, reviewers, and authors as demonstrated with Heart Rhythm’s incoming editorial team.
 
In support of HRS’ commitment to driving innovation, the Society is exploring options for different formats of communicating and supporting innovation outside of traditional journal publications.
 
HRX 2024 AbstracX will be published in Heart Rhythm’s September issue (available online only). Likewise, a collection of articles focused on artificial intelligence will be published in Heart Rhythm’s June and September issues (online only).

Throughout the upcoming transition, authors are encouraged to continue to submit manuscripts to the HRS portfolio of journals.
