Ferroptosis in Cardiovascular Diseases and Ferroptosis-Related Intervention Approaches

ObjectiveCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major public health problems that threaten the lives and health of individuals. The article has reviewed recent progresses about ferroptosis and ferroptosis-related intervention approaches for the treatment of CVDs and provided more references and strategies for targeting ferroptosis to prevent and treat CVDs.MethodsA comprehensive review was conducted using the literature researches.Results and discussionMany ferroptosis-targeted compounds and ferroptosis-related genes may be prospective targets for treating CVDs and our review provides a solid foundation for further studies about the detailed pathological mechanisms of CVDs.ConclusionThere are challenges and limitations about the translation of ferroptosis-targeted potential therapies from experimental research to clinical practice. It warrants further exploration to pursure safer and more effective ferroptosis-targeted thereapeutic approaches for CVDs.
