The Philippine Heart Association turns platinum (70 years) this year, while the Philippine Journal of Cardiology also turns gold (50 years). In the last five decades of the Journal, a total of 765 original articles have been published, including 546 original research articles, 114 case reports and case series, and 4 clinical guidelines and consensus statements. Truly our founding leaders had the mindset of the third worker and saw a magnificent basilica when they set out to organize the premiere society of cardiology way back in 1952, and launched the official scientific publication in 1971. The lessons and wisdom of our past and rich history that spans seven decades enlightens us. The passion, hopefulness and determination of the present strengthen us. And the enthusiasm and excitement for a bright future drives us to do more. |

Scientific journals have evolved into one of the most vital means for disseminating research findings and communicating new knowledge which is critical for the progress of science. But more than this, journals are also important in the development of public health. And when we talk about public health in the Philippines, the role and relevance of the Philippine Journal of Cardiology (PJC) as the scientific publication arm of the Philippine Heart Association is truly crucial with cardiovascular diseases continuing to be the top cause of mortality. |
