Associated Disease Details

Disease ID: I08
DO ID: 114
Disease Name: Cardiovascular system disease
Definition: A disease of anatomical entity which occurs in the blood, heart, blood vessels or the lymphatic system that passes nutrients (such as amino acids and electrolytes), gases, hormones, blood cells or lymph to and from cells in the body to help fight diseases and help stabilize body temperature and pH to maintain homeostasis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system
Synonyms: Atrial Fibrillation; Angina Pectoris; heart disease; Myocardial Infarction; Chronic heart failure
Class: disease of anatomical entity
Related Drugs: Digoxin; Atorvastatin; Ranolazine; Aspirin; Epanova; Spironolactone
Mechanism: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are both manifestations of end-organ damage of the metabolic syndrome. Through multiple pathophysiological mechanisms, CVD and NAFLD are associated with each other. Systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, hepatic insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and altered lipid metabolism are some of the mechanisms by which NAFLD increases the risk of CVD. Patients with NAFLD develop increased atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, and arrhythmia, which clinically result in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Defining the mechanisms linking these 2 diseases offers the opportunity to further develop targeted therapies.
