Circulation Heart Failure considers for publication content related to heart failure, mechanical circulatory support and heart transplant science and medicine, including studies conducted in humans or analyses of human data, as well as preclinical studies that have direct clinical correlation or relevance. As a primarily clinical journal, few basic and preclinical studies are ultimately published. Those that will be considered are novel, and significantly and directly advance the field of heart failure. The editors are especially interested in basic science studies directly related to heart failure that are highly informative and translatable to human disease and are conducted in vertebrate models. Less than 15% of submitted articles are ultimately published. Work not directly involving heart failure or heart failure therapies will not be considered, including work on mechanisms of myocardial infarction, reperfusion injury, or arrhythmia in the absence of heart failure substrate.

心力衰竭考慮與心力衰竭、機械循環支持和心臟移植科學和醫學相關的出版內容，包括在人體中進行的研究或對人體數據的分析，以及與臨床直接相關或相關的臨床前研究。作為一個主要的臨床雜志，很少有基礎和臨床前研究最終發表。這些將被考慮的是新的，并顯著和直接推進心力衰竭領域。編輯們對與心力衰竭直接相關的基礎科學研究特別感興趣，這些研究信息豐富，可轉化為人類疾病，并在脊椎動物模型中進行。最終發表的文章不到15%。不直接涉及心力衰竭或心力衰竭治療的工作將不予考慮，包括在沒有心力衰竭底物的情況下研究心肌梗死、再灌注損傷或心律失常的機制。
