Abstract EN
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, imposing a major disease burden worldwide.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify new therapeutic targets.
Recently, the concept that the heart acts as a secretory organ has attracted increasing attention.
Proteins secreted by the heart are called cardiokines, and they play a critical physiological role in maintaining heart homeostasis or responding to myocardial damage and thereby influence the development of heart diseases.
Given the critical role of cardiokines in heart disease, they might represent a promising therapeutic target.
This review will focus on several cardiokines and discuss their roles in the pathogenesis of heart diseases and as potential therapeutics.
