Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) continue to be one of the main causes of death in the population. “Middle-aged” people (between 45 and years old) and elderly people (> 64 years old) shoulder most of the burden of CVD. In this sense, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis in an attempt to develop efficient therapies and reduce the burden of CVD [1].
