Abstract：Mercury is considered as one of the heavy metals harmful to human health, and the level of mercury in the body is closely related to the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, there are currently few reports on the relationship between mercury and CVDs in China. In this study, we review the effect of mercury on the cardiovascular system. The findings have indicated the role of mercury in the progression of CVDs. Mercury can induce CVDs via interfering withcardiovascular mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, leading to cardiovascular mitochondrial dysfunction, cardiovascular oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and cardiovascular endothelial damage.
