Hypertension and Cardiology Invites Submissions
We welcome original research, clinical trials, systematic reviews, and practice-based evidence advancing our understanding and management of cardiovascular diseases.
JHC provides a rigorous, peer-reviewed platform for cardiologists, researchers, and healthcare professionals committed to reducing the global burden of heart disease.
The Journal of Hypertension and Cardiology (JHC) is an international, open access, peer-reviewed publication dedicated to advancing cardiovascular science and clinical practice. Our editorial mission centers on publishing high-quality research that informs clinical decision-making, shapes treatment guidelines, and ultimately improves outcomes for patients with hypertension and heart disease.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, making high-quality research essential for progress. JHC serves as a comprehensive resource for cardiologists, internists, researchers, and healthcare professionals working to address this critical public health challenge through evidence-based approaches.
Our commitment: JHC upholds the highest standards for clinical research reporting, ensuring all published work demonstrates rigorous methodology, appropriate statistical analysis, and transparent presentation of cardiovascular outcomes. We prioritize research with clear clinical implications and translational potential.
JHC welcomes submissions across the full spectrum of cardiovascular research and clinical practice. We encourage multidisciplinary approaches bridging basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and population health perspectives.
Hypertension Management
Research on blood pressure control, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, resistant hypertension, and personalized treatment approaches for diverse patient populations.
Coronary Artery Disease
Studies on atherosclerosis, acute coronary syndromes, revascularization strategies, secondary prevention, and long-term cardiovascular outcomes after intervention.
Heart Failure
Research on heart failure with preserved and reduced ejection fraction, device therapies, advanced heart failure management, and quality of life optimization.
Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology
Investigations of cardiac rhythm disorders, ablation therapies, device implantation, atrial fibrillation management, and sudden cardiac death prevention.
Cardiovascular Imaging
Advances in echocardiography, cardiac MRI, CT angiography, nuclear cardiology, and multimodality imaging for diagnosis and risk stratification.
Prevention and Risk Factors
Studies on cardiovascular risk assessment, lifestyle modification, lipid management, diabetes-cardiovascular connections, and population-level prevention strategies.
We publish diverse article formats to accommodate different research contributions and clinical insights. Each submission undergoes rigorous peer review appropriate to its format and methodology.
Original Research
Empirical studies presenting novel findings from clinical trials, observational research, translational investigations, or implementation science with clear methodology.
Systematic Reviews
Comprehensive evidence syntheses following PRISMA guidelines, meta-analyses, and scoping reviews informing clinical practice and identifying research gaps.
Clinical Case Reports
Instructive case presentations highlighting diagnostic challenges, treatment innovations, or therapeutic breakthroughs with educational value for clinicians.
Expert Perspectives
Invited commentaries from leading cardiologists on emerging trends, treatment controversies, or guidelines interpretation in cardiovascular medicine.
