Abstract

Aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is a mitochondrial enzyme primarily involved in the detoxification of alcohol-derived aldehyde and endogenous toxic aldehydes. It exhibits widespread expression across various organs and exerts a broad and significant impact on diverse acute cardiovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndrome, acute aortic dissection, hypoxic pulmonary hypertension, and heart failure. The ALDH2 rs671 variant represents the most prevalent genetic variant in East Asian populations, with carriage rates ranging from 30 to 50% among the Chinese population. Given its widespread presence in the body, the wide range of diseases it affects, and its high rate of variation, it can serve as a crucial tool for the precise prevention and treatment of acute cardiovascular diseases, while offering individualized medication guidance. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements in factors affecting ALDH2 activity, encompassing post-transcriptional modifications, modulators of ALDH2, and relevant clinical drugs.<br />Competing Interests: Declarations Competing Interests The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (© 2024.
