Despite significant advances in cardiovascular biomedicine, heart diseases still represent a major public health problem. Thus, it is important to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease.
Cardiac injury is followed by cardiac remodeling, a process defined as genomic alterations triggering molecular, cellular, and interstitial modifications that manifest clinically as changes in the heart’s size, shape, and function., Therefore, alterations in the synthesis and degradation of cellular proteins characterize cardiac remodeling.
