Abstract
Necroptosis is a non-apoptotic programmed cell death pathway, which causes necrosis-like morphologic changes and triggers inflammation in the surrounding tissues. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that necroptosis is involved in a number of pathological processes that lead to cardiovascular diseases. However, the exact molecular pathways linking them remain unknown. Herein, this review summarizes the necroptosis-related pathways involved in the development of various cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, cardiac ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac hypertrophy, dilated cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction, and may shed light on the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
