Hypertension publishes scientific i

Hypertension publishes scientific investigation of the highest quality in the broad field of blood pressure regulation and pathophysiology, clinical treatment, and prevention of hypertension. The editors encourage submission of original articles that deal with basic, clinical, and population studies of hypertension and related fields such as nephrology, endocrinology, neuroscience, vascular biology, physiology, pharmacology, cellular and molecular biology, and genetics.

Submitted manuscripts must not contain material previously published, except as an abstract, and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, in whole or in part. Manuscripts should conform to "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" (N Engl J Med. 1991; 324:424-428). Manuscripts are examined by the editors and are usually sent to expert reviewers. Decisions will generally be communicated within 3 weeks after receipt of the manuscript. Acceptance is based on originality, scientific excellence, and topical balance of the journal.
