You'll also see a button at the top of the page confirming you're signed in as part of an institution.

    If your institution does not have a paper subscription, it cannot get an electronic version of AHA Journals. If you would like to have an institutional subscription, please contact your local librarian.

  5. Will I still be able to get the paper version? And for how long?

    Yes, if you are a print subscriber you will continue to be able to receive the paper version along with your online access. Customers who sign up for online-only subscriptions will not receive a paper version.
