Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a serious global threat as they are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality claiming a large number of lives. Increased incidences of cardiovascular events are often associated with an increased uptake of unbalanced dietary high-saturated lipids, salt and sugar. A sedentary lifestyle as well as obesity contribute to other potential factors leading to cardiovascular diseases. Demerits of limited applications in the diagnosis and treatment strategy of CVDs have led to the further exploration of nanoparticles in medicine. The field of Nanomedicine based on employing nanoparticles has revolutionized the diagnostic and therapeutic landscape by playing an important role in identifying their targets, signaling process and efficient drug delivery. These nanotechnology-driven methods can serve as efficient biomarkers in the early detection of CVDs thereby helping in their therapeutic and future prevention of cardiovascular events.
