 * Delete. No outside independent reference on notability: both for individual papers and the journal itself. Nahrizuladib (talk) 13:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment DOAJ listing assures that this is a scholarly journal. It doesn't provide much info to reference though, and NLM (haven't checked other library catalogs) haven't written anything independent on it, so it would be a very short stub (still better than nothing in my opinion).

 * Keep and recheck in 6 months I doubt this is a hoax, but as a new journal, it will be hard to find good sourcing that demonstrates its notability. Check back in 6 months to a year, maybe?  By then it should have gained at least the attention of a major medical library. Bonewah (talk) 21:33, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment. I found a brief mention of it in an article about the recent profusion of new cardiology journals: At least it's in PubMed. Fences  &amp;  Windows  02:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment According to the cover image it is already 18 months old which means it has 5-6 issues out already. There's no point in waiting as Bonewah suggested. That said, journals tend not to be written about much; its notability should be determined based on the impact of the material it has published and the editors and organizations attached to the journal. - Mgm|(talk) 13:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. Very young journal, no independent sources. Also, no encyclopedic content in article. Think about it; the title tells you all you need to know; it's a journal about Atrial Fibrillation. Abductive  (reasoning) 21:13, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:NOTABILITY  no significant 3rd party coverage or any impact which would indicate notability.   RP459 (talk) 04:14, 25 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak delete Journals generally don't have "3rd party coverage" as one normally expects, but I would like to see a "real" service indexing the journal or some 3rd party review (other than announcements) -- neither of which I found, but only on a quick google search.  If these exist, I would love to reconsider. jheiv (talk) 03:25, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete In contrast to what is mentioned on the journal's site, it is not indexed in PubMed. --Crusio (talk) 09:57, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
