The Canadian Journal of Cardiology publishes occasional Focus Issues devoted largely to a specific research topic. These issues contain a number of expert reviews, and part of each issue is reserved for original research papers. All papers are subjected to the normal peer review process (an editorial decision is usually made within 14 days of receipt of any manuscript).

A Focus Issue on Novel Risk-Factor Targeting Approaches to Cardiovascular Disease Prevention is scheduled to appear in May 2021. The Focus Issue will contain a number of important cutting-edge reviews as well as original papers in the area. Original articles in Focus Issues generally receive wide attention and citation.
