Aims & Scope

Cardiovascular Toxicology is dedicated to publishing on contemporary issues that influence cardiovascular system toxicity and disease. CaTo publishes papers that describe the effects of and elucidate the underlying, molecular signaling mechanisms of drugs, supplements, and environmental toxins (metals, air pollution, microplastics) on the cardiovascular system. For example, we welcome experimental and clinical research on the detrimental effects of emerging and conventional cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular drugs including anti-cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy. In addition, CaTo invites submission of cutting-edge reports on the social and environmental determinants of cardiovascular health and toxicity. Notice to authors: It is journal new policy that for each submission, at least one institutional email address should be provided among all authors. For exmple, if there are five authors for one manuscript, we ask at least one email address, out of five, should be insitutional affiliated, not every author to provide such.
