Study of the Role of Oxidative Stress in Pathophysiology of Cardiovascular Diseases

Abstract

Cardiovascular system is primarily considered as the human body's transport system. The cardiovascular system keeps life pumping through the body. Understanding the functions of the cardiovascular system, along with its various pathways of veins, arteries and capillaries, is essential in the provision of safe and effective care. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains to be the leading cause of premature deaths across the globe. Cardiovascular disease is an umbrella term for a number of linked pathologies. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are complex entities with heterogeneous pathophysiologic mechanisms and increased oxidative stress has been viewed as one of the potential common etiologies in various CVD. Oxidative stress in cardiovascular system may produce various cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, and hypertension. In conclusion, oxidative stress is a condition that accompanies diseases of the cardiovascular system, and it may be responsible for the development of the disease or its complications, which must be taken into account in any treatment system.
