The Heart Failure Beat welcomed Drs. Jason Katz and Nosheen Reza to announce the launch of HFSA’s and the JCF Family of Journal’s newest journal: Journal of Cardiac Failure – Intersections (JCF-Intersections). With its debut issue just released, Katz and Reza outline a bold vision for the journal. 

“We’re not here to create just another journal,” says Dr. Katz. “We’re here to create a platform for new voices and unexpected intersections.” 

What Makes JCF-Intersections Different? 

• A focus on intersections—places where heart failure meets other disciplines like AI, ethics, law, entrepreneurship, training, and policy. 
• Novel article types like It’s Up for Debate and Intersections in Training. 
• A deeply supportive editorial team. “Even if your idea isn’t fully formed, we want to work with you,” says Dr. Reza. 
• Open office hours for mentorship and submission advice. 

The team emphasizes that this is a journal for the entire heart failure community—especially early-career professionals. With the backing of the HFSA and JCF family of journals, JCF-Intersections is poised to shape the future of cardiovascular science.
