Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major driver of mortality and declining health worldwide. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Although dyslipidemia, smoking, diabetes, hypertension and obesity are some well-known causes of CVD, the overlapping genetic pathways between other diseases and those affecting cardiovascular health have been overlooked.

Background: Dichloroacetate (DCA) has shown potential in modulating cellular metabolism and inflammation, particularly in cardiac conditions. This study investigates DCA's protective effects in a mouse model of myocardial infarction (MI), focusing on its ability to enhance cardiac function, reduce inflammation, and shift macrophage polarization from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.

Methods: An acute MI model was created using left anterior descending coronary artery ligation.

Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and its related vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) may play a significant role in atherosclerosis and their targeting is a strategic approach that may affect multiple pathways influencing disease progression. This study aimed to perform a systematic review to reveal current evidence on the role of HIF-1α and VEGF immunophenotypes with other prognostic markers as potential biomarkers of atherosclerosis prognosis and treatment efficacy.

Methods: We performed a systematic review of the current literature to explore the role of HIF-1α and VEGF protein expression along with the relation to the prognosis and therapeutic strategies of atherosclerosis.

Background: Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and coronary microcirculation dysfunction (CMD) are observed in patients with myocardial infarction after vascular recanalization. The antianginal drug trimetazidine has been demonstrated to exert a protective effect in myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the role of trimetazidine in endothelial cell dysfunction caused by myocardial I/R injury and thus improve coronary microcirculation.

In health, the liver is a metabolically flexible organ that plays a key role in regulating systemic lipid and glucose concentrations. There is a constant flux of fatty acids (FAs) to the liver from multiple sources, including adipose tissue, dietary, endogenously synthesized from non-lipid precursors, intrahepatic lipid droplets and recycling of triglyceride-rich remnants. Within the liver, FAs are used for triglyceride synthesis, which can be oxidized, stored or secreted in very low-density lipoproteins into the systemic circulation.
