[LncRNAs and cardiovascular diseases].

Area of Science:

• Genetics
• Medical Informatics
• Cardiovascular Medicine

Background:

• Cardiovascular disease poses a significant global health threat.
• Noncoding RNAs, particularly long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), are emerging as critical players in biological processes.
• lncRNAs were once considered non-functional but are now recognized for their regulatory roles.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review the known functions and characteristics of lncRNAs.
• To explore the relationship between lncRNAs and cardiovascular disease.
• To enhance the understanding of cardiovascular disease etiology and pathophysiology.

Main Methods:

• Literature review of existing studies on lncRNAs and cardiovascular disease.
• Analysis of genetic and medical informatics data related to lncRNAs.
• Synthesis of current evidence on lncRNA mechanisms in cardiovascular contexts.

Main Results:

• lncRNAs exhibit diverse functions, including gene regulation and modulation of cellular processes.
• Growing evidence links specific lncRNAs to various cardiovascular conditions.
• The precise molecular mechanisms of lncRNAs in cardiovascular disease are still under investigation.

Conclusions:

• lncRNAs represent a promising area of research for understanding cardiovascular disease.
• Further investigation into lncRNA functions could reveal novel therapeutic targets.
• lncRNA research is crucial for advancing basic cardiovascular medicine.
