Abstract
OBJECTIVE
A coagulation factor called fibrinogen is produced by the liver and is proteolyzed by thrombin to become fibrin. The latest studies have revealed that fibrin(ogen) palys an essential role in the regulation of cardiovascular disease. Understanding the relationship and mechanism between fibrin(ogen) and cardiovascular disease is of great significance for maintaining overall health. The objective of this review is to discuss the specific involvement and underlying mechanisms of fibrin(ogen) in cardiovascular disease.
METHODS
A review was conducted using the PubMed database to identify and analyze the emerging role of fibrinogen in cardiovascular disease.
RESULTS
The literature review revealed that fibrin(ogen) plays a pivotal role in maintaining cardiovascular disease and are involved in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. Fibrin(ogen) mainly influence various pathophysiological processes, such as participating in thrombosis formation, stimulating the inflammatory response, and other molecular pathways.
CONCLUSION
This review focuses on the involvement of fibrin(ogen) in cardiovascular disease, with a particular emphasis on the main functions and underlying mechanisms by which fibrin(ogen) influence the pathogenesis and progression of these conditions. This review underscores the potential of fibrin(ogen) as therapeutic targets in managing cardiovascular disease.
