Journal Title：Congenital Heart Disease

Congenital Heart Disease is an open-access journal focusing on congenital heart disease in children and adults. Though the number of infants born with heart disease each year is relatively small (approximately 1% of the population), advances in treating such malformations have led to increased life spans for this population. Consequently, today most patients treated for congenital heart disease are over the age of 20. What are the special needs of adults with congenital heart disease? What are the latest developments in the care of the fetus, infants, and children? Who should treat these patients? How should they be treated?

Congenital Heart Disease focuses on these questions and more. Conceived as a forum for the most up-to-date information on congenital heart disease, the journal is led by Editor-in-Chief Vladimiro L. Vida, MD, Ph.D., Professor in Cardiac Surgery, University of Padua in Italy, as well as an international editorial board. Congenital Heart Disease publishes articles on heart disease as it relates to the following areas:

• Basic research of congenital heart disease

• Clinical pediatric and adult cardiology

• Cardiac imaging

• Preventive cardiology

• Diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization

• Electrophysiology

• Surgery

• Long-term follow-up, particularly as it relates to older children and adult congenital heart disease

• Exercise and exercise physiology in the congenital patient

• Post-op and critical care

• Common disorders such as syncope, chest pain, murmurs, as well as acquired disorders such as Kawasaki syndrome

The journal includes clinical studies, invited editorials, state-of-the-art reviews, case reports, articles focusing on the history and development of congenital heart disease, and CME material. Occasional issues focus on special topics.

Readership: Congenital Heart Disease was created for pediatric cardiologists; adult cardiologists who care for patients with congenital heart disease; pediatric and pediatric cardiology nurses; surgeons; radiologists; anesthesiologists; critical care physicians and nurses; and adult support staff involved in the care of patients with congenital heart disease.

先天性心脏病是一本专注于儿童和成人先天性心脏病的开放获取期刊。尽管每年出生时患有心脏病的婴儿数量相对较少（约占人口的 1%），但治疗此类畸形的进展已导致这一人群的寿命延长。因此，今天接受先天性心脏病治疗的大多数患者都在 20 岁以上。患有先天性心脏病的成年人有哪些特殊需求？胎儿、婴儿和儿童护理方面的最新进展是什么？谁应该治疗这些患者？应该如何治疗？

先天性心脏病关注这些问题以及更多问题。该杂志被设想为一个提供先天性心脏病最新信息的论坛，由意大利帕多瓦大学心脏外科教授、医学博士、医学博士 Vladimiro L. Vida 领导，以及一个国际编辑委员会。先天性心脏病发表关于心脏病的文章，涉及以下领域：

• 先天性心脏病基础研究

• 临床儿科和成人心脏病学

• 心脏成像

• 预防心脏病学

• 诊断和介入性心导管术

• 电生理学

• 手术

• 长期随访，尤其是与年龄较大的儿童和成人先天性心脏病相关的随访

• 先天性患者的运动和运动生理学

• 术后和重症监护

• 晕厥、胸痛、杂音等常见疾病，以及川崎综合征等获得性疾病

该期刊包括临床研究、特邀社论、最新评论、病例报告、关注先天性心脏病的历史和发展的文章以及 CME 材料。偶尔的问题侧重于特殊主题。

读者群：先天性心脏病是为儿科心脏病专家创建的；照顾先天性心脏病患者的成年心脏病专家；儿科和儿科心脏病护士；外科医生；放射科医师；麻醉师；重症监护医师和护士；和参与先天性心脏病患者护理的成人支持人员。

Congenital Heart Disease创刊于2006年，由TECH SCIENCE PRESS出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖CARDIAC & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度较慢,6-12周，影响因子指数0.300，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。

名词解释：
中科院分区也叫中科院JCR分区，基础版分为13个大类学科，然后按照各类期刊影响因子分别将每个类别分为四个区， 影响因子5%为1区，6%-20%为2区，21%-50%为3区，其余为4区。

大类学科	小类学科	分区
医学	CARDIAC & CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEMS 心脏和心血管系统	3区

名词解释：
JCR没有设置大类，只分为176个具体学科，按当期（1年）的影响因子进行分区；JCR是按照“平均主义”思想， 根据刊物IF的高至低平均划分4个区，每个区含有该领域总量25%的期刊。中科院的分区如同社会阶层的金字塔结构，1区只有5%的顶级期刊， 2~4区期刊数量也逐层增加,所以中科院的1区和2区杂志很少，杂志质量相对也高，基本都是本领域的顶级期刊。
