Editorial Board
The hypertension and cardiovascular specialists who guide peer review at JHC.
Every manuscript submitted to the Journal of Hypertension and Cardiology is assessed under the oversight of an international editorial board of clinicians and researchers in hypertension and cardiovascular medicine. Editorial decisions rest on scientific merit and remain independent of the publisher and of any fee, membership, or role.
Who leads the journal
The Editor-in-Chief holds final editorial responsibility; executive editors support editorial oversight and the handling of submissions across the journal’s scope.

How the board governs the journal
The board’s role is scholarly stewardship: safeguarding rigorous, independent peer review and the integrity of the published record. Not every member handles every manuscript — submissions are assigned to editors with relevant expertise.
Editorial independence
Decisions to accept or reject a manuscript are based solely on scientific merit, originality, and relevance to the journal’s scope. They are independent of the publisher and are not influenced by any article processing charge, membership, or editorial role.
Peer-review oversight
Manuscripts undergo single-blind peer review (double-blind on request), with each submission assessed by independent expert reviewers. Editors oversee the review, weigh reviewer assessments, and take the editorial decision.
Conflicts of interest and confidentiality
Editors declare relevant interests and recuse themselves from handling their own submissions or any manuscript where a conflict exists; those papers are managed independently. Submissions and reviews are treated as confidential.
Integrity and ethical concerns
The board upholds publication ethics and research integrity, and reviews concerns about published work. Where warranted, the journal issues corrections, expressions of concern, or retractions in line with recognised ethical guidance.
Scholarly role, not medical endorsement. Editorial board membership reflects scholarly and professional standing in cardiovascular research. It is not a clinical endorsement, and nothing on this page is medical advice. JHC publishes peer-reviewed research for scholarly and professional use.
