Ferroptosis is a newly recognized type of regulated cell death that is characterized by the accumulation of iron and lipid peroxides in cells. Studies have shown that ferroptosis plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases. In cardiovascular disease, ferroptosis is associated with ischemia-reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and atherosclerosis. The molecular mechanisms underlying ferroptosis include the iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxidation products, glutathione depletion, and dysregulation of lipid meta...
