Abstract
Nanocardiology is the application of nanobiotechnology to cardiovascular diseases. Recent rapid advances in nanobiotechnology offer a wealth of new opportunities for diagnosis and therapy of cardiovascular diseases (Jain 2011a). As far back as 2003, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, USA, convened a working group on nanotechnology for translational applications to heart, lung, blood disorders, and cardiovascular complications of sleep apnea to solve clinical problems.
