The ESC's European Heart Journal – Case Reports (EHJ-Case Reports) publishes high quality, valuable, educational case reports, images, and quality improvement projects in all aspects of cardiology and cardiovascular medicine. The cases will be of interest to senior medical students and doctors during the early stages of their medical careers.

The primary aim is to promote learning among junior cardiologists as regards both the published content as well as the review-and-editorial process. The journal operates a mentorship plan to develop junior reviewers and editors under the close guidance of experienced senior reviewers and editors.
