Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics publishes research on cardiovascular diseases, focusing on pharmacological interventions, genetic associations, and therapeutic targets. Articles investigate the effectiveness of various drug classes, including antiplatelet agents, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and SGLT2 inhibitors, in managing conditions like myocardial infarction, heart failure, and hypertension. The journal also explores genetic underpinnings of cardiovascular risk, the role of microRNAs and long non-coding RNAs, and novel therapeutic strategies such as multiomics approaches and regenerative medicine.
