Abstract:
Insulin resistance is "common soil" of many major cardiovascular diseases, such as diabetes, coronary heart disease, hypertension and heart failure. Recent studies have revealed that, in addition to metabolic modulation, insulin exerts direct cardiovascular protective effects. This article reviews the current progresses in the pathogenesis and cardiovascular protection strategies of metabolic cardiovascular diseases, and highlights the mechanism of actions of insulin in cardiovascular protection.

Overview of the Cardiovascular System
Heart
The heart is the central pump of the cardiovascular system that circulates blood throughout the body. It comprises two atria receiving the blood and two ventricles pumping blood out of the heart. Their rhythmic contractions, called heartbeats, ensure that blood flow remains continuous.

Protection
It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...
Zones of Protection
Protective zones are defined by closed dashed lines, containing one or more components. A key characteristic of these zones is the strategic placement of...

Radial System Protection
In a radial system with a fault downstream of the third breaker, ideally, only the third breaker will open, isolating the fault and interrupting the load connected beyond it. The second breaker has a longer delay setting,...
