Instruction to Authors
The Cardiovascular Journal of Africa is pleased to consider original articles, reviews, discussions on topical issues, case studies, meeting reports and other contributions relevant to the understanding, treatment and care of vascular disease.

Clear statement of the purpose of the study. Methods: a brief description of study design, procedures, analytical techniques and statistical evaluation. Results: a clear account of the study findings using quantitative language where possible and cross-referenced to tables and figures . Figures be sent to us electronically in a high resolution JPEG format, but they MUST be sent separately from the Word document. If not in high resolution JPEG, then Powerpoint will do.

Submitted manuscripts must be supplied with a covering letter with any additional information that may be helpful to the editor, such as the type or format of article that the manuscript represents. If the manuscript has been submitted previously to another journal, it is helpful to include the previous editor's and reviewers' comments with the submitted manuscript, along with the authors' responses to those comments. Copies of any permission to reproduce published material, to use illustrations or report information about identifiable people, or to name people for their contributions must accompany the manuscript.
Guidelines for Authors and Readers of the CVJA
The Cardiovascular Journal of Africa (CVJA), which incorporates the Cardiovascular Journal of South Africa, is particularly concerned with publication of scientific articles related to Cardiac and Vascular conditions and situations, concerning adults and children, in Sub Saharan Africa. But will accept articles from all parts of the world. Basic Science publications related to clinical aspects either for elucidation, in-depth understanding or therapeutic approaches are accommodated. The Journal functions as official medium for other related societies which do not as yet have own Journals such as, Hypertension, Stroke, Nuclear Medicine and Magnetic Resonance in Cardiology, Paediatrics, Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, and Vascular disease in Diabetes and Obesity.
Index Medicus / Medline and Sabinet lists the Journal for indexing and electronic citation.
A printed version and an electronic version for citation and publication of abstracts are produced. The abstracts of articles published appear on PubMed with a link out to Sabinet to give access to full text retrieval of published material.
Ahead of full text printed publication can be provided directly on Sabinet or via PubMed at a modest additional charge to author(s).
