Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a global health challenge and are the leading cause of deaths worldwide. Proteomics has emerged as a valuable tool for unraveling the complex molecular mechanisms underlying CVDs, offering insights into biomarker discovery, drug targets, and personalized medicine. This review explores key breakthroughs in proteomic applications related to CVDs, mainly coronary artery disease (CAD), ischemic heart diseases such as myocardial infarction (MI), and cardiomyopathies. Notable findings include potential biomarkers, therapeutic targets, and insights into disease pathogenesis. The review highlights the importance of proteomics in advancing our understanding of CVDs and shaping future therapeutic approaches.
Keywords: Atherosclerosis; Cardiomyopathy; Cardioproteomics; Cardiovascular diseases; Ischemic heart diseases.
