Understanding Lipid Induced Cardiovascular Diseases Causes and Prevention
Introduction:Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide, with increasing evidence pointing to lipotoxicity as a major contributing factor. The excessive accumulation of lipids in non-adipose tissues, particularly the heart, leads to cellular dysfunction and chronic conditions such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. This article explores how lipid accumulation affects heart…
