Heart failure (HF) remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, driven by diverse pathophysiological mechanisms. Among its major risk factors, obesity has emerged as a lobal public health concern affecting individuals across all age groups. The rising prevalence of obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular complications, including the development and progression of HF. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), small non-coding RNA molecules, have garnered attention for their regulatory roles in cardiovascular disease, particularly through post-transcriptional modulation of gene expression. This review highlights the involvement of miRNAs in key pathological processes observed in the obese heart, including cardiac remodeling, apoptosis, angiogenesis, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and myocardial lipotoxicity. Understanding how specific miRNAs and their targets contribute to HF in the context of obesity may inform the development of novel RNA-based therapeutic strategies for cardiometabolic disease.
心力衰竭(HF)仍然是全球发病和死亡的主要原因,由多种病理生理机制驱动。在其主要风险因素中,肥胖已成为一个影响所有年龄组人群的全球公共卫生问题。肥胖患病率的上升显著增加了心血管并发症的风险,包括HF的发生和进展。微小RNA(miRNA)是一类小的非编码RNA分子,因其在心血管疾病中的调节作用而受到关注,特别是通过对基因表达的转录后调控。本综述强调了miRNA在肥胖心脏中观察到的关键病理过程中的作用,包括心脏重塑、细胞凋亡、血管生成、炎症、线粒体功能障碍和心肌脂毒性。了解特定的miRNA及其靶点在肥胖背景下如何导致HF,可能为开发基于RNA的心血管代谢疾病新治疗策略提供依据。
