Central Illustration

Examples of targeting epigenetic mechanisms in CVD. Possible targets include modifying DNA methylation, changing the acetylation or deacytylation of histones, and miRNA or lncRNA modificiations. DNMT = DNA methyltransferase; HAT = histone acetyltransferase; HDAC = histone deacetylase; lncRNA = long noncoding RNA; miRNA = microRNA.
