The Philippine Journal of Cardiology (PJC) constantly seeks ways to further improve the quality of  its manuscripts – alongside the arduous efforts of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Heart Association,  along with the Research Committee and Committee on Publications. 

For its part, the PJC Editorial Board is mandated to enhance and maintain the quality of research  investigations and related manuscripts that find their way to the pages of the journal. Thus, the Board has  deemed it vital to further improve the overall systems and processes related to submission, screening and  evaluation of manuscripts for publication, peer review and publication.

Closely following the historical trails of the 66-year-old Philippine Heart Association (PHA) is the Philippine  Journal of Cardiology (PJC), relaunched in 1973 after a brief interruption of the publication of its earlier predecessor,  the Philippine Heart Journal. For this nearly half-a-century old publication of the country’s heart society, the Philippine  Journal of Cardiology has a stature and a history that ought to be preserved, enhanced and honored. For the PHA  Board of Directors and the PJC Editorial Staff, this is a task that is no longer an option, but a supreme obligation; a  sublime commitment, not a choice.
