Abstract

Oxidative modifications of lipids and lipoproteins have long been linked to the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and coronary disease. Furthermore, overwhelming evidence indicate that oxidized lipids are also associated with myocardial dysfunction and cardiomyopathy. Oxidized lipid derivatives are generated by enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions with unsaturated lipids in the cell and foods. In addition, blood LDL particles are prone to oxidation leading to the formation of oxidized LDL (oxLDL), which is often associated with obesity, diabetes and metabolic disease. Whether produced endogenously or delivered by the diet, oxidized lipid derivatives induce multiple metabolic and functional disturbances in the cell leading eventually to cell injury and death. As obesity is already associated with increased oxidative stress and excess lipid deposition in the heart, the cytotoxic effects of oxidized lipids in cardiomyocytes are more pronounced in obese subjects. The overall objective of this review is to provide a synthesis of recent findings about the effects oxidized lipids in the heart. First, the origin of oxidized lipids and lipoproteins is reported. Then, the effects of oxidized lipids in car...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disorders and heart failure. Discover the latest research here.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
