Abstract:
One in every three deaths worldwide is caused by cardiovascular disease, estimating a total of 17.9 million deaths per year. By 2030, it is expected that more than 24 million people will die from cardiovascular disease (CVD) related complications. The most common cardiovascular health problems are deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, and high blood pressure. Inflammation has long been acknowledged as one of the leading causes of disease. A plethora of studies have shown inflammation causing both short-term and long- term damages to tissues in many organ systems, including the cardiovascular system. In parallel to inflammation processes, it has been discovered that apoptosis, a mode of programmed cell death, may also contribute to CVD development due to the loss of cardiomyocytes. Natural products and natural products-inspired compounds play an important role as nutritional supplements and provide potential health benefits in cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Compiling data from experimental, epidemiological and clinical studies indicates that dietary nutrients have profound cardioprotective effects in primary as well as secondary prevention of coronary heart disease, hence they are considered as cardiovascular friendly agents/compounds. In this presentation, the role of natural products and natural products inspired in CVS research at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia will be highlighted in different contexts and discussed, In addition, the therapeutic potential of cardiovascular friendly natural products and natural productsinspired compounds have been suggested.
