Type of Cells on Adipose Tissue: New Insights on Cardiovascular Disease Treatment
Cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of disease burden in the world. There is an urgent need to focus on implementing existing cost-effective policies and interventions. The human heart has limited self-healing powers and regenerative capacity. A damaged heart muscle and the resulting loss of function cannot usually be fully restored. Obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, several authors have described paradoxical behavior in patients with chronic HF. Some of the reasons for this might be a) less advanced chronic HF, b) lower catabolic states, c) lower renin–angiotensin–aldosterone activity, d) presence of stem cells, among others. However, the hypertrophic adipose tissue might enhance a) the inflammatory state and b) the secretion of several factors or molecules with a paracrine deleterious effect on adjacent cells, i.e., myocardium, and diminished stem cell plasticity. Differential adipose tissue composition might have both protective or deleterious effects on cardiovascular disease.
