Abstract:
Metabonomics is a systematic science that mainly studies the dynamic changes of endogenous metabolites after a biological system is stimulated or disturbed. Its application in cardiovascular diseases has increasingly been explored, with an attempt to find valuable biomarkers and explore the underlying pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases by profiling the metabolism in these patients. This article summarized recent advances in this topic and outlines prospects for future developments.
