Abstract
Despite many advances achieved to date, heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. There is a widely-accepted consensus that HF and diabetes are strongly linked by at least 3 mechanisms: associated comorbidities, coronary atherosclerosis or a specific diabetic cardiomiopathy. For the last 2 mechanisms, advanced glycation end-products may contribute to trigger key processes relevant to HF by affecting cardiac function through cross-linking or receptor engagement. This review focuses on the main effects of advanced glycation end-products on cardiomyocytes and endothelial cell function. Some pharmacological approaches are also discussed.

Ischemic Cardiovascular Diseases: Mechanisms, Diagnosis and Therapy
Ischemic cardiovascular disease includes myocardial infarction, coronary atherosclerotic heart disease, angina pectoris, etc., constitute the leading cause of patient mortality by preventing tissues from getting sufficient oxygen and nutrients. Ischemic heart disease, as a clinical condition, is characterized by myocardial ischemia, causing an imbalance between myocardial blood supply and demand, ...read more
TREATMENT OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN CHRONIC AND END STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE
Cardiovascular disease still remains the leading cause of death in Chronic and End Stage Kidney Disease, accounting for more than half of all deaths in dialysis patients. During the past decade, research has been focused on novel therapeutic agents that might delay or even reverse cardiovascular disease and vascular calcification, ...read more
