Cardioprotective Effects of Nanoparticles in Cardiovascular Diseases : A State-of-the-Art Review

• It has been reported that death related to cardiovascular disease has increased up to 12.5% just in the past decade alone with various factors playing a role. In 2015 alone, it has been estimated that there were 422.7 million cases of CVD with 17.9 million deaths. Various therapies have been discovered to control and treat CVDs and their complications including reperfusion therapies and pharmacological approaches but many patients still progress to heart failure. Due to these proven adverse effects of existing therapies, various novel therapeutic techniques have emerged in the near past. Nano formulation is one of them. It is a practical therapeutic strategy to minimize pharmacological therapy's side effects and nontargeted distribution. Nanomaterials are suitable for treating CVDs due to their small size, which enables them to reach more sites of the heart and arteries. The biological safety, bioavailability, and solubility of the drugs have been increased due to the encapsulation of natural products and their derivatives of drugs.
