The Journal of Cardiovascular Aging (JCA) is an international peer-reviewed, open access, online journal.
Aims and Scope
To establish JCA as a premier, most desirable, and entirely transparent international platform for dissemination of the state-of-the-art basic, translational, and clinical studies in aging and cardiovascular disease. The journal aims to publish state-of-the-art scientific discoveries pertaining to the broad spectrum of cardiovascular consequences of aging. The Editors aim to provide timely, fair, and balanced considerations to all manuscripts submitted and seek the opinions of the external experts in prioritizing the meritorious manuscripts.
JCA aims to publish clinical, translational, and basic science discoveries that pertain to all aspects of aging and cardiovascular disease. All aspects of basic and clinical sciences relating to aging in the context of cardiovascular disease are considered to be within the scope of the journal. Examples include clinical trials, diet, treatment, genetics, epigenetics, genomics, stem cells, immunology, inflammation, cell cycle regulation, senescence, signaling pathways, and pharmacology, among others. The primary focus of the journal is to publish original research articles that provide novel insights into cardiovascular aging. Studies confirming and validating previous findings, whenever providing unequivocal findings, are also within the scope of the journal. Review manuscripts on topics of broad interest to the readership of the journal, Editorials, and Commentaries on timely and important topics will also be considered.
