| Core Tip |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been shown to contribute to cardiovascular complications, extending beyond its liver-related effects. This review highlights the link between HCV and various examples of these complications, such as atherosclerosis and cardiomyopathy, emphasizing the roles of chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and coagulation imbalance. Understanding these mechanisms may help guide future research and improve cardiovascular risk assessment and management in patients with chronic HCV infection. |
