Call For Papers! Special collection: Environmental Cardiovascular Risk Factors
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Sciences is pleased to invite researchers to submit articles for the thematic collection on Environmental Cardiovascular Risk Factors, with a deadline of June 30, 2026.
Mortality from cardiovascular disease has fallen in recent decades as a result of earlier and more accurate diagnosis, control of traditional risk factors (RF) and effective treatment. However, the aging of populations combined with new RFs has made it difficult to advance the decline in mortality. It is necessary to address these emerging themes in research and publicize them.
The aim of this thematic collection is to gather high-quality articles that contribute to the advancement of knowledge about environmental cardiovascular risk factors. We suggest submissions in different article formats, from an ecological, experimental, pathophysiological, epidemiological or clinical perspective on the following topics related to environmental cardiovascular RF:
- Environmental pollution: urban pollution; fossil fuel; toxic gases; rural pollution and fires; dust and sandstorm
- Noise pollution: urban noise, urban traffic, occupational noise
- Light pollution; nomophobia; changes in circadian rhythm
- Sleep health
- Climate change: temperature extremes; floods
- Social vulnerability; financial instability; access to health services
- Chronic psychological stress; burnout; social isolation
- Agricultural pesticides and heavy metals poisoning
- Endocrine disruptors; use of illicit toxic substances and inadequate hormone replacement
- Micro and nano plastics
Original articles, review articles and case reports will be accepted.
