In 2004, Joseph Loscalzo, the then-new editor-in-chief of Circulation, invited readers to use the journal to soar like an eagle above the cardiovascular landscape and to stay informed of cutting-edge advances in cardiovascular medicine. From that broad vista, readers could hone their focus to specific areas and monitor the latest findings that came to the fore in the highest-quality original investigations that have defined Circulation from its inception.

We now welcome you to Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology. The arrival of this new member of the American Heart Association family facilitates transmission of important advances to clinicians and investigators who needed more focused knowledge in the field. The journal will be published bimonthly in electronic and printed formats; however, all articles will also be posted online immediately upon acceptance. Although Circulation will remain the core platform for studies in electrophysiology and arrhythmias with implications that warrant rapid dissemination to the broad cardiovascular community, the new journal will include outstanding investigations of a more focused nature that have been selected through the same rigorous review process, subject to the same high standards, as articles in Circulation.

In addition to original investigations, ongoing reviews from leaders in the field will provide perspective and accessible summaries. The "Advances in Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology" series will focus on topics of interest to the clinician and researcher, including pathophysiology, natural history, and diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. "Basic Science for the Clinical Electrophysiologist" will bring physiological and pathophysiological insights from basic investigations into context for . . . [Full Text of this Article]
