Aims & Scope

Hypertension Research is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension, publishing high-quality original research articles, reviews, correspondence and editorials on all aspects of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. The journal publishes papers on clinical trials, clinical and epidemiological studies and basic research (e.g. pathophysiology, genetics, metabolomics, pharmacology, molecular biology, and biomarkers). We have recently expanded the journal’s scope. It now includes organ damage, vascular dysfunction, cerebrovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, metabolic diseases, and important issues in specific populations such as the elderly (cognitive dysfunction, frailty), children, pregnant women, cancer patients etc. Moreover, papers on outcome research concerning hypertension and its management and the use of emerging technologies such as telemedicine, big data analysis, wearable devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and other digital technologies are also welcome.
