Novel Therapeutic Targets for Hypoxia-Related Cardiovascular Diseases: The Role of HIF-1

Insufficient oxygen availability (hypoxia) is a precursor to numerous cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis, pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. The main site of hypoxic injury in the human body is the mitochondria, where oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the process...
