More often than not, the inflammatory response is the principal disease mechanism behind the onset and development of CVDs. The study seeks to elucidate the mechanistic role of pyroptosis in CVDsand to summarize the current progress of potential therapeutic strategies targeting pyroptotic pathways. Pyroptosisis a form of PCD, which is inflammatory and mediated through an inflammasome and gasdermin complex. In the past few years, it has emerged as a crucial mechanism possibly explaining protracted inflammation and tissue damage. There is evidence suggesting that pyroptosis contributes to multiple CVDs. Indeed, it may induce disruption of endothelial barrier and plaque instability in atherosclerosis (AS) . Also, it may aggravate ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) and reduce repair processes in case of myocardial infarction (MI) . Finally, it may drive ventricular remodeling and functional impairment in heart failure (HF) . Cell death and immune activation are further aggravated by a vicious cycle between pyroptosis and inflammation. Recent studies indicate that therapeutic interventions focused on key molecules, includingthe NLRP3 inflammasome, caspase-1, and gasdermin D (GSDMD), along with combination therapies consisting of antioxidants and inflammation inhibitors, exhibit significant cardioprotective effects. Additionally, one’s diet, exercise and other lifestyle choices impact pyroptotic pathways and influence the risk of CVD. We should include pyroptosis as a form of cell death in future research only. Further, it would be necessary to identify reliable biomarkers for all of these forms of cell death for their therapeutic mechanisms.  \nKeywords: Pyroptosis, inflammation, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, heart failure, cardiovascular diseases  \nIntroduction  \nCVDs are still one of the main causes of illness and death around the world.

At the mechanistic level, inflammation is recognized as a crucial instigator in CVD initiation and progression. It  \noccurs through the whole process from plaque formation and rupture to myocardial injury and ventricular remodeling.
