Abstract :
Cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis constitute some of the most challenging problems in the medical field because of their high mortality rates. Nanotechnology in medicine/nanomedicine has several applications in different medical fields, especially in cardiology. Recent advances in nanotechnology and nanomedicine have created many opportunities for cardiovascular diseases, from diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring to drug delivery and nanoscale surgery. We reviewed recent applications of nano-enabled devices in cardiology such as targeted drug delivery, nanocoated drug-eluting stents, injectable peptide nanofibers, anticoagulation applications, and post-surgical monitoring
