Abstract
Everything in nature is built upward from the atomic level to define limits and structures to everything. Nanomedicines marked the field of medicine from nanobiotechnology, biological micro-electromechanical systems, microfluidics, biosensors, drug delivery, microarrays to tissue microengineering. Since then nanoparticles has overcome many challenges from blood brain barrier to targeting tumors. Where solid biodegradable nanoparticles were a step up liposome, targeting nanoparticles opened a whole new field for drug delivery. In this article, we attempt to discuss how the pioneered technique is serving in the drug delivery to cardiovascular system and how with the manipulation of their properties, nanoparticles can be made to fulfill desired function. Also how nanocarriers are improving molecular imaging to help improve diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease is focused in this article.
