Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) encompass a range of conditions affecting the heart, brain, and blood vessels, including coronary heart disease, hypertension, and stroke. In recent years, there has been growing evidence highlighting the significant role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Among the various types of ncRNAs, long-stranded non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as prominent players in cardiovascular research. Advancements in technology and in-depth research have revealed that ncRNAs and circRNAs exert regulatory effects on the biological functions of the cardiovascular system through various pathways. For instance, they can modulate the proliferation, migration, and apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells, as well as regulate cardiac muscle contraction and cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Additionally, ncRNAs and circRNAs can influence downstream targets and pathways involved in cardiovascular diseases. The exploration of ncRNAs and circRNAs in cardiovascular research has opened up new avenues for the diagnosis and treatment of CVDs. By understanding the intricate regulatory mechanisms mediated by these non-coding RNAs, researchers have gained valuable insights into the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases and identified potential therapeutic targets. Consequently, these studies have provided novel ideas and approaches for the diagnosis, prevention, and management of CVDs.
