Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading cause of death in many developed countries as well as developing countries. Many evidences indicate that natural products have profound beneficial effects for cardioprotection. In addition to the crude extracts, an identified single compound may be used as a lead molecule for the therapeutic interests. In this review, we discuss promising natural products for cardiovascular diseases, their molecular targets, and their mechanisms, which may help the further direction of studies and applications of natural products for cardiovascular diseases.
