Hypertension, Hemodynamics and Vascular Regulation

The Hypertension, Hemodynamics and Vascular Regulation section considers both interventional and non-interventional clinical research studies, including controlled trials, case control studies, and basic experimental research. This section does not consider large epidemiological studies, or case reports. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses should be directed to the Epidemiology and Health Outcomes section.

COVID-19 Announcement

As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times.  Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time. Thank you.
