Cardiovascular endocrinology is an interdisciplinary field that explores the intricate connections between the endocrine system and cardiovascular health. The endocrine system, consisting of glands that produce hormones, plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes, including those related to the cardiovascular system. Hormones such as insulin, cortisol, and thyroid hormones influence blood pressure, heart rate, and metabolism. Disorders of the endocrine system, such as diabetes and thyroid dysfunction, can have profound effects on cardiovascular health and increase the risk of developing heart diseases. Cardiovascular endocrinologists focus on understanding these complex interactions, investigating how hormonal imbalances contribute to atherosclerosis, hypertension, and other cardiovascular conditions. The field aims to identify novel therapeutic targets and interventions that address both endocrine and cardiovascular components, promoting holistic approaches to the prevention and management of cardiovascular diseases.
