Cardioprotective Effects

Meaning

Cardioprotective effects describe the measurable actions or outcomes of a specific substance, behavior, or clinical therapy that actively shields the heart muscle and the entire vascular system from functional decline, injury, or chronic disease. These significant clinical benefits encompass improving vascular endothelial function, regulating systemic blood pressure, favorably modulating circulating lipid profiles, and preventing chronic endothelial dysfunction. Maintaining a robust cardiovascular system is intrinsically linked to optimal hormonal balance, particularly the integrity of the sex hormone and thyroid axes.
