Cardiovascular Toxicology
Cardiovascular Toxicology is a hybrid journal that Springer publishes under its Humana Press imprint, and it carries experimental and clinical work on the mechanisms by which drugs and environmental agents harm the cardiovascular system. It began in 2001 and its print run ended in 2013. Its 2025 impact factor is 3.3 and its five-year figure is 3.7.《心血管毒理学》是 Springer 以 Humana Press 名义出版的混合期刊，刊载涉及药物与环境因素损害心血管系统机制的实验与临床研究。该刊 2001 年创刊，印本在 2013 年停止。其 2025 年影响因子为 3.3，五年影响因子为 3.7。
Scope
- The journal describes itself as the only title devoted to contemporary issues, timely reviews and experimental and clinical data on the mechanisms of cardiovascular toxicity.该刊自述为唯一专注于心血管毒性机制当代议题，及时综述以及实验与临床数据的刊物。
- It also follows the influence of that toxicity on cardiovascular and metabolic disease, so the readership includes clinicians as well as bench scientists.该刊也追踪此类毒性对心血管与代谢疾病的影响，因此读者既包括临床医师也包括实验科学家。
- Papers are expected to describe the effects of environmental toxins and clinically relevant drugs and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms and signalling pathways behind them.论文被期望描述环境毒素与临床相关药物的作用，并阐明其背后的分子机制与信号通路。
- The detrimental effects of established cardiovascular drugs are covered, anti-cancer chemotherapy and gene therapy among them.已上市心血管药物的有害作用也在覆盖之列，其中包含抗癌化疗与基因治疗。
- Emerging cardiovascular drugs are treated on the same footing, so recent approvals fall within the scope.新出现的心血管药物受到同等对待，因此近期的获批药物也在范围之内。
- The side effects of drugs aimed at other systems are taken as well, which widens the journal beyond cardiology proper.针对其他系统的药物的副作用同样被接收，这使该刊的范围超出心血管专科本身。
- The cardiovascular toxicity of drugs of abuse forms a subject in its own right.滥用药物对心血管的毒性自成一个选题。
- Human and animal studies of exposure to environmental toxicants are welcomed, and air pollution and wildfire smoke are named as examples.涉及环境毒物暴露的人体与动物研究受到欢迎，空气污染与野火烟雾被举为例子。
- Changing environmental conditions are covered too, with heat stress given as an example.变化的环境条件也在覆盖之列，热应激被举为例。
- Studies that also address susceptibility factors are especially welcome, and sex, diet and metabolic state are the factors the editors name.同时讨论易感因素的研究尤其受到欢迎，性别，饮食与代谢状态是编辑点出的因素。
- The journal states that it takes cardiovascular toxicological data across the whole hierarchical spectrum, from computer modelling to clinical trials.该刊声明其接收的心血管毒理学数据贯穿整个层次谱，从计算机建模一直到临床试验。
- A strand on environmental cardiology is named among the subject areas.环境心脏病学这一线索被列为选题方向之一。
- Papers on the safety and toxicity of new drugs are taken whether the agent targets the cardiovascular system or another organ system.涉及新药安全性与毒性的论文，无论该药物针对心血管系统还是其他器官系统，都在接收之列。
- Molecular pathways of environmental toxins and of drugs are covered, so mechanism rather than mere description is what the journal looks for.环境毒素与药物的分子通路也在覆盖之列，因此该刊看重的是机制而不只是描述。

- The journal appears four times a year according to that record.据该记录，该刊每年出版四期。
- The 2025 impact factor is 3.3 and the five-year figure is 3.7, which places the title in the second quartile of cardiac and cardiovascular systems.该刊 2025 年影响因子为 3.3，五年影响因子为 3.7，位于心血管系统的第二象限。
- Its snapshot records 2641 citations and 96 articles, with a cited half-life of 5.2 years.其快照记录总被引 2641 次，年发文 96 篇，被引半衰期为 5.2 年。
- The median time from submission to a first decision is ten days, and the title recorded 350900 downloads in 2025.投稿至首次决定的中位数为 10 天，该刊 2025 年记录到 350900 次下载。
- Publishing is hybrid, so an accepted paper may appear behind a subscription or, on payment of an article processing charge, open to all.出版采用混合模式，被接收的论文可以放在订阅之后，也可以在支付文章处理费后向所有人开放。
- The journal has adopted a policy that at least one author of every submission must give an institutional e-mail address.该刊采用一项政策，要求每篇投稿至少有一位作者提供机构邮箱地址。
- Two open collections were running in 2025 and 2026, one on metal dyshomeostasis and cardiometabolic health and one on plastics and the cardiovascular system.2025 年与 2026 年各有一个开放合集在征稿，一个讨论金属稳态失衡与心血管代谢健康，另一个讨论塑料与心血管系统。
- Its back volumes stay available on the publisher's platform, and the archive now runs across more than two decades.其过刊持续在出版方平台上可获取，存档现已跨越二十余年。
- The title shares the publisher's medical list with other specialty journals in toxicology and in cardiology.该刊与毒理学及心血管领域的其他专科期刊同属出版方的医学刊物清单。
