Journal Title：International Heart Journal

International Heart Journal was first published bimonthly as The Japanese Heart Journal in 1960. International Heart Journal had published manuscripts on clinical and experimental cardiovascular research that originated mainly from Japan. Submissions from countries outside Japan have increased and exceeded those from Japan in 2001, and the percentage of foreign submissions reached 66% in 2004. To reflect the increasing international significance of the Journal, The Japanese Heart Journal has been renamed as the International Heart Journal since January 2005.

《国际心脏杂志》于1960年作为《日本心脏杂志》首次双月出版；《国际心脏杂志》发表了主要来自日本的临床和实验心血管研究手稿。2001年，来自日本以外国家的投稿数量有所增加，超过了来自日本的投稿量，2004年外国投稿比例达到66%。为了反映《日本心脏杂志》日益增加的国际重要性，自2005年1月起，《日本心脏杂志》（Japanese Heart Journal）更名为《国际心脏杂志》。
