The Japanese Heart Journal, first published in 1960, was renamed the International Heart Journal in January 2005.
In January 1960, the Japanese Heart Journal Association was founded at the University of Tokyo to publish bimonthly an academic journal in the fields of clinical and experimental cardiovascular research. For more than 40 years, the Association has been publishing manuscripts on cardiovascular medicine that originated mainly from within Japan. In recent years, however, the Association has been receiving a great number of submissions from overseas. Submissions from outside Japan exceeded those from within Japan in 2001, and the percentage of foreign submissions reached 66% in 2004. To reflect the increasing international significance of the Japanese Heart Journal as an international journal, the Association has decided to rename it the International Heart Journal as of January 2005.
