Reactive Oxygen Species In Acute Coronary Syndrome, Fernando Cisneros, Alex Zuo
Research Symposium
Background: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have diverse functions in biomedicine, providing roles in cellular metabolism and signaling while posing a threat to cellular components through oxidative damage. This poster explores the significance of ROS in various cardiovascular diseases, specifically hypertension, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction, all of which are associated with acute coronary syndrome which are the conditions and symptoms caused by ischemia. We have studied over 30 most recent or related literature to the topic and determine important roles of ROS in cardiovascular disease. Correlations have linked ROS culprits, particularly upregulation of NADPH oxidase (NOX) 2 and NOX 4, with …
