JAMA Cardiology (jama-cardiology)
Journal positioning
JAMA Cardiology is a JAMA Network specialty journal for cardiovascular clinical research relevant to the practice of cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. It favors rigorous, practice-relevant work — randomized cardiovascular trials, large outcomes and registry analyses, prevention and risk-factor studies, and cardiac imaging studies tied to clinical outcomes — with JAMA's emphasis on hard endpoints, absolute risk, and direct relevance to patient care. Mechanistic bench cardiology, small physiology studies with surrogate-only readouts, and imaging-technique papers with no outcome link are a weak fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid; it is not clinical or regulatory advice and does not replace the journal's current instructions for authors. Before submitting, re-check the live JAMA Cardiology author instructions.
When to trigger
- The author names JAMA Cardiology for a cardiovascular clinical, outcomes, or imaging-outcome study and wants a fit/framing check.
- A cardiovascular study must be re-framed around a hard clinical endpoint (MACE, mortality, hospitalization) for a practicing-cardiology audience.
- The author is choosing between JAMA Cardiology, JAMA, and a cardiology-society journal.
- The author needs the journal's reporting-guideline, registration, and desk-reject expectations for cardiovascular work.
Scope & topic fit
- Randomized cardiovascular trials (drug, device, procedural, or strategy) with clinically meaningful endpoints, including pragmatic and de-implementation designs.
- Large outcomes, registry, and claims analyses on cardiovascular events, heart failure, arrhythmia, and structural/interventional outcomes.
- Cardiovascular prevention, risk-factor, lipid, hypertension, and population cardiovascular-health studies.
- Cardiac imaging (echo, CMR, CCT, nuclear) studies where the contribution is a clinical-outcome or prognostic association, not a pure imaging technique.
- Cardiovascular biomarker and risk-prediction studies validated against outcomes.
- Systematic reviews and meta-analyses answering a focused cardiovascular question.
Method & evidence bar
- Trials must be adequately powered with a prespecified primary endpoint, ideally a hard clinical outcome or validated composite (with the composite components reported); surrogate-only endpoints need strong justification.
- The applicable reporting guideline and checklist are required: CONSORT for trials (with device/procedure extensions where relevant), STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for systematic reviews; risk-model work should follow TRIPOD-style reporting.
- Trials require prospective registration; registration number, protocol, and statistical-analysis plan are expected, including for device and procedural trials.
- Effect estimates need absolute and relative measures, confidence intervals, adequate follow-up, and adjudicated endpoints where feasible.
- Registry/observational claims must address confounding by indication, immortal-time bias, and missing data; causal language must match the design.
- Risk-prediction and biomarker claims need internal and ideally external validation, calibration, and discrimination metrics.
Structure & house style
- JAMA Network format with a structured abstract and a Key Points box; re-check current article types (Original Investigation, Brief Report, Research Letter, etc.) and limits on the live guide.
- The introduction frames a focused, practice-relevant cardiovascular question; the discussion states the clinical implication and absolute benefit/harm plainly.
- Tables/figures follow JAMA Network statistical-reporting standards; CONSORT/STROBE flow diagrams, event-free survival curves with numbers at risk, and adjudicated-event tables are expected where applicable.
- Supplements carry the protocol, SAP, endpoint definitions, and additional analyses.
Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the ICMJE and JAMA Network anchors, then cite the current JAMA Cardiology page you checked. - Search the live site for "JAMA Cardiology instructions for authors" and follow the current version.
- Re-check article types and word/reference/table limits, structured-abstract and Key Points format, and the JAMA Network statistical-reporting requirements.
- Confirm trial registration, the reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), the data-sharing statement, and protocol/SAP submission.
- Re-check IRB/ethics and consent statements, ICMJE authorship and conflict-of-interest disclosure (device/industry ties scrutinized), funding, and AI-use disclosure.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The study answers a practice-relevant cardiovascular question with a hard or validated clinical endpoint.
- The primary endpoint is prespecified and adjudicated where feasible; the study is adequately powered.
- The correct reporting checklist (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA/TRIPOD) is completed and attached.
- Trials are prospectively registered with the number in the manuscript; protocol/SAP provided.
- Confounding by indication, immortal-time bias, and missing data are addressed; causal language matches the design.
- IRB/consent, ICMJE disclosures (including device/industry ties), and a data-sharing statement are prepared.
Common desk-reject triggers
- Underpowered trials or surrogate-only physiology studies framed as practice-relevant.
- Imaging-technique papers with no clinical-outcome or prognostic link.
- Registry/observational analyses with confounding by indication or immortal-time bias and overstated causal claims.
- Risk models or biomarkers without validation, calibration, or discrimination reporting.
- Missing trial registration, protocol, endpoint adjudication, or the required reporting checklist.
- Mechanistic/basic cardiology better served by a cardiovascular-science journal.
Re-routing decision
- Broadly practice-changing, top-tier cardiovascular trial → general medicine (
jama/ NEJM / The Lancet in the natural-science bundle). - General internal-medicine relevance over cardiology specialty →
jama-internal-medicine. - Cardiac imaging with an imaging-method core over clinical outcome →
radiology. - Cerebrovascular/stroke-specific cardiovascular focus →
stroke. - Surgical/perioperative cardiac focus →
jama-surgery.
