About the journal
THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY is the official journal of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, which appoints the editors and determines editorial policy. The aim of the Journal is to be a respected international publication while serving as the major venue for Canadian cardiovascular medicine. The Journal publishes original reports of clinical and basic research relevant to cardiovascular medicine, as well as editorials, review articles and informative case reports. Papers on health systems, ethics, medical history and political issues affecting practice, as well as letters to the editor are welcomed. The Journal is pleased to accept articles in both English and French. Manuscripts are received with the understanding that they are submitted solely to The Canadian Journal of Cardiology, and that none of the material contained in the manuscript has been published previously or is under consideration for publication elsewhere, with the exception of abstracts. All statements and opinions are the responsibility of the authors. The publisher reserves copyright on all published material, which then may not be reproduced without the written permission of the publisher. With submission of a manuscript, a letter of transmittal must indicate that all authors have participated in the research, and have reviewed and agree with the content of the article.

FIGURE LEGENDS: Type double-spaced, separate from the text, with figure numbers corresponding to the order in which figures are presented in the text. Identify all abbreviations appearing on figures in alphabetical order at the end of each legend. Enough information should be given to allow interpretation of the figure without reference to the text.

Figure legends should not appear on the actual figures.

Table numbers should appear in arabic numerals and should correspond to the order of the tables in the text. Footnote each table with an alphabetical listing of all abbreviations used. Ensure that tables are self-explanatory and that the data are not duplicated in the text. Written permission from the publisher to reproduce any previously published tables must be included.
FIGURES: Submit three sets of unmounted glossy proofs and drawings. Artwork will not be returned. Figures are to be no larger than 22?8 cm (8½×11"). The lettering on the figures should be sufficiently large to withstand reduction. Decimals, lines and other details must be bold enough for reproduction. Place crop marks on photomicrographs to show essential field, and designate special features with arrows (which must contrast with the background). The first author’s last name, the figure number and the location of the ‘top?must be indicated on the back of each figure, best achieved with an adhesive label. Figures are limited to the number necessary for clarity. There is no charge for black and white figures.
