Cardiovascular bioactive peptides constitute life activity of human beings. They play important roles in regulating the development of cardiovascular system, and controlling disease progression. Recently, interests have arised on the adjusting effects of cardiovascular bioactive peptides on endocrine metabolism, its changes during disease course, influence on disease pathogenesis, as well as its effects on the diagnosis, treatment, and early interventions. New advances have been increasingly achieved in basic and clinical researches. It has become one of the most active areas in life sciences.

Cardiac deficiency of qi(vital energy) is one of the main syndromes in terms of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). Based on our analysis of blood-tissue fluid circulation, we set up a hemodynamics model describing cardiac deficiency of qi. The model's theoretical results can reflect the manifestations of cardiac deficiency of qi, and are identical to those of clinical experimental discoveries, therefore it has substantiated our theory-cell's abnormal physiological function caused by undernourishment of tissue fluid is the reason of qi-deficiency.

Renalase, a novel amine oxidase, is secreted by kidney. It regulates heart function and blood pressure by degrading catecholamines. Hormones secreted by the kidney are associated with cardiovascular disease. Renalase, as a new biomarker of heart and kidney functional correlation, can lower blood pressure, protect ischemic heart muscle, improve heart function and degrade catecholamine.

Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been recognized as an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis for more than 30 years, but the mechanisms by which HHcy leads to atherosclerosis are not well fully understood. In this review, we will summarize the immunoregulatory effects of homocysteine on cardiovascular diseases from humoral immunity, monocyte/macrophage and T lymphocyte activity. Homocysteine can induce chemokine and cytokine secretion in monocytes and T lymphocytes and also directly stimulate B lymphocyte proliferation and IgG secretion. In addition, the cellular mechanisms that may explain the pro-inflammatory effect of HHcy are included. Homocysteine may directly or indirectly lead to oxidative stress or endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Elevated levels of homocysteine also decrease the bioavailability of nitric oxide and modulate the levels of other metabolites including S-adenosyl methionine and S-adenosyl homocysteine which may result in cardiovascular diseases.
