Cardiac activities are based on integrated action potential through electronic flux changes within intra- and extracellular molecular activities. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a major electron carrier present in almost all living cells and creates gated potential by electron exchange from one chemical to another in terms of oxidation (NAD<sup>+</sup>) and reduction (NADH) reactions. NAD<sup>+</sup> plays an important role directly or indirectly in protecting against various cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, occlusion, ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction (MI), rhythmic disorder, and a higher order of cardiovascular complexity. Nicotinamide phosphoribosyl transferase (NAMPT) is well known as a rate-limiting enzyme in this pathway except for <i>de-novo</i> NAD synthesis and directly involved in the cardioprotective activity. There are two more enzymes - nicotinate phosphoribosyl transferase (NAPRT) and nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) - which also work as rate-limiting factors in the NAD+ synthesis pathway.
