METABOLOMIC APPROACHES IN STUDYING OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES

Abstract

Modern scientific approaches give clinicians an advantage in using additional tools and methods for assisting in clinical assessment and expanding their capabilities for classifying patients according to risk factors for cardiovascular complications. Biomarkers are a simple tool that allows to identify and classify people with different risk degree, quickly and accurately diagnose the condition of the disease, effectively predict and control treatment. Therefore, the identification and study of biomarkers is a serious and promising approach to understanding and treating cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Among a wide range of biomarkers, the genetic and metabolic markers is of high importance. Cardio-metabolomics is a new direction in cardiovascular science that allows researchers to study changes in metabolome and metabolic networks in diseases of the cardiovascular system in order to better understand their pathophysiological mechanism. Thus, the study of metabolome can provide important information about the pathogenesis of CVDs, as well as offer the possibility of identifying new CVD biomarkers.
