Introduction
For centuries, Portugal and Brazil have shared a tradition of cooperation, which applies to medicine. In cardiology, for example, their national scientific societies – the Brazilian Society of Cardiology and the Portuguese Society of Cardiology – have a long history of collaboration, which extends to their journals.
The Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia ( Arq Bras Cardiol ), the official scientific publication of the Brazilian Society of Cardiology, with an impact factor of 1.679 in 2018 (JCR), is the most influential cardiology journal in Brazil and Latin America.
