About the Journal
In general, cardiovascular remodeling is the response of specific cardiovascular cells (cardiomyocytes, endothelial, smooth muscle cells) as well as interstitial cells to different metabolic, hemodynamic, and inflammatory stimuli. Although the process is initially compensatory and functional, when damaging stimuli become chronic, it progresses to structural alterations that manifest clinically as change in size, mass, geometry, and functions of the heart and vessels. However, the generalization of cardiovascular remodeling not only covers all kinds of cardiovascular diseases but also throughout the whole cardiovascular continuum. Furthermore, there are still many unknown areas to be studied even with the continuous deepening of cardiovascular remodeling research, a medical journal focusing on cardiovascular remodeling is urgently needed, which can lead the world in the latest academic progress.
In recent years, the incidence of cardiovascular diseases has increased year by year, even faster than tumor diseases. In the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases, vascular remodeling and ventricular remodeling have played extremely important roles. The purpose of Cardiovascular Remodeling (CR) is to increase doctors and scientists' understanding of cardiovascular remodeling and cultivate their interest and expertise in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, nursing, research, education, and public policy. CR will bring together basic research and clinical research, reviews, and case reports on cardiovascular remodeling.
CR publishes articles mainly on but not limited to below topics:
Hypertension
Heart structure, function, and developmental abnormalities
Myocardial injury, repair, remodeling, and regeneration
Abnormal cardiac electrical activity and arrhythmia
Coronary heart disease
Cor pulmonale
Myocarditis and cardiomyopathy
Heart valve disease and newly reported diseases
Heart failure
Heart/vascular transplantation and assisted circulation
Angiogenesis and abnormal blood vessel structure and function
Vascular damage, repair, remodeling and regeneration
Abnormal blood pressure regulation and hypertension
Atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis
Aortic disease
Peripheral vascular disease
Potential audiences of CR
Doctors, nurses, and public health personnel, as well as patients, in the fields of diagnosis and treatment, nursing, research, education, and public policy on cardiovascular diseases.
Articles types include but not limited to:
Clinical Guidelines, Clinical Consensus, Reviews, Clinical Research, Basic Research, Case Reports, Short Communications, Letters from Readers, Technological Progress, Continuing Medical Education
