Cardiology and Cardiovascular Diseases

Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, Lipidology

The Molecular Cardiology involves the study of the molecular mechanisms of cardiovascular biology and human cardiovascular diseases. It focuses on discovering novel pathways that modulate cardiac hypertrophy, aging and metabolic diseases with specific attention to interpreting bench findings to new bedside approaches and strategies.

Cellular cardiology

Heart failure is the chief cause of mortality worldwide. Cardiac remodeling is the adaptive mechanism that causes ventricular dysfunction. In present article the authors explain the elements of the human heart and their examination of basic functions and their inter-communication under both normal and pathological circumstances.

Lipidology

Lipidology is the study of cholesterol. It finds particular treatments for high cholesterol and other lipid disorders. A lipidologist researches lipids and lipoprotein metabolism in the body and directs to find ways of decreasing mortality rates related with high cholesterol. This is a expanding area of ability due to the increase in cholesterol-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease.

Lipid disorders include

• Hypercholesterolemia
• Hyperglyceridemia
• Hypertriglyceridemia
• Hyperlipoproteinemia
• Hyperchylomicronemia
