Cardiology stands at the frontline of one of medicine's most critical battles — where early detection prevents myocardial infarction, where catheterization saves lives in the emergency room, and where chronic disease management determines quality and length of life. Kmed Journal of Cardiology exists for the cardiologists, interventionalists, and cardiovascular researchers advancing that care every day.

We publish original research, clinical case reports, procedural outcome studies, diagnostic evaluations, and systematic reviews across the full breadth of cardiovascular practice. Whether you are reporting outcomes from primary angioplasty, documenting an unusual echocardiographic finding, or evaluating heart failure management protocols — if it advances how heart disease is prevented, diagnosed, or treated, it belongs here. Every submission undergoes rigorous peer review, and every published article is freely accessible to the global cardiology community.

Scope & Focus Areas

We welcome submissions across all dimensions of cardiovascular medicine, including:

• Acute Coronary Syndromes — STEMI, NSTEMI, unstable angina, primary PCI outcomes, and thrombolysis
• Interventional Cardiology — coronary angiography, angioplasty, stenting, and procedural complications
• Heart Failure — systolic and diastolic dysfunction, chronic heart failure management, and guideline-directed medical therapy
• Valvular Heart Disease — rheumatic heart disease, mitral stenosis/regurgitation, aortic stenosis, and valve replacement outcomes
• Arrhythmias & Electrophysiology — atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, pacemakers, ICD implantation, and ablation procedures
• Hypertension — blood pressure control, resistant hypertension, and antihypertensive therapy
• Preventive Cardiology — risk stratification, lipid management, lifestyle interventions, and primary prevention strategies
• Non-Invasive Imaging — echocardiography, stress testing, cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, and nuclear cardiology
• Cardiomyopathies — dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive cardiomyopathy, and genetic cardiac disease
• Pericardial Disease — pericarditis, pericardial effusion, tamponade, and constrictive pericarditis
• Congenital Heart Disease — adult CHD, post-operative outcomes, and long-term management
• Cardiac Rehabilitation — exercise programs, secondary prevention, and lifestyle modification outcomes
• Cardio-Oncology — cardiotoxicity of cancer treatments and cardiac monitoring during chemotherapy
• Geriatric Cardiology — cardiac disease in elderly populations, polypharmacy, and frailty considerations

Why Publish With Us

Open Access Your research reaches every cardiologist, interventionalist, and general physician — without paywalls. Published articles are freely accessible worldwide from the date of publication.

Peer Review You Can Trust Every manuscript is reviewed by subject-matter experts in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. We prioritize clinical relevance, procedural safety, and evidence-based outcomes.

Fast Turnaround Initial editorial decision within 21 days. We understand that cardiology residents preparing for board exams and clinicians managing acute cardiac cases need timely publication decisions.

Author-Centered Process Dedicated editorial support from submission through publication — with guidance on ECG presentation, angiographic image quality, echocardiographic data reporting, and cardiovascular outcome measures.

Indexed & Discoverable Published articles are optimized for discoverability, ensuring your clinical findings and procedural outcomes reach the cardiologists and researchers who can learn from them.

Who Should Submit

Kmed Journal of Cardiology is the right home for your work if you are a:

• DM Cardiology resident or DNB candidate with a case report, catheterization audit, or outcome study
• Cardiologist or interventional cardiologist with original research, procedural outcomes, or long-term follow-up data
• General practitioner or emergency physician managing acute cardiac events and documenting outcomes
• Faculty member or HOD in a Cardiology department looking to build departmental research output and visibility
• Cardiac surgeon, electrophysiologist, or imaging specialist collaborating on cardiovascular research

If your work improves how heart disease is prevented, how cardiac emergencies are managed, or how cardiovascular outcomes are optimized — this journal is for you.

Article Types Accepted

Type	Description
Original Research	Prospective or retrospective studies with primary cardiovascular data
Case Reports	Rare presentations, diagnostic challenges, or unusual cardiac findings
Case Series	Multiple cases illustrating clinical patterns, procedural outcomes, or complications
Procedural Outcome Studies	Angioplasty success rates, stent outcomes, ablation efficacy, and complication reporting
Review Articles	Systematic, narrative, or scoping reviews of cardiovascular evidence
Diagnostic Studies	Echocardiographic findings, stress test validations, and imaging-clinical correlations
Registry & Epidemiological Studies	Population-level cardiovascular disease burden, risk factors, and survival data
Short Communications	Preliminary findings, novel observations, or brief clinical insights
Letters to the Editor	Responses, perspectives, or brief cardiology commentaries

Submit Your Work

Every STEMI you treated, every heart failure patient you optimized, every arrhythmia you cardioverted — that clinical experience and outcome data matters beyond your Cath lab or cardiology ward. Published, it becomes a resource for every cardiology resident learning catheterization techniques, every general practitioner managing hypertension and lipids, and every interventionalist refining their procedural approach.
