Abstract: Cardioproteomics (Cardiovascular proteomics) is fast becoming an indispensible technique in deciphering
changes in signaling pathways that occur in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The quality and availability of the
instruments and bioinformatics software used for cardioproteomics continues to improve, and these techniques are now
available to most cardiovascular researchers either directly or indirectly via university core centers. The heart and aorta are
specialized tissues which present unique challenges to investigate. Currently, the diverse range of proteomic techniques
available for cardiovascular research makes the choice of the best method or best combination of methods for the disease
parameter(s) being investigated as important as the equipment used. This review focuses on proteomic techniques and
their applications that advanced our understanding of the signaling mechanisms involved in CVDs at the levels of protein
complex/protein-protein interaction, post-translational modifications and signaling induced protein changes.
