Cold stimulation has been linked to acute myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases. Residents in the frigid zones, such Heilongjiang Province, experience a higher incidence of adverse cardiovascular events during winter, posing a significant health threat and increasing the overall medical burden. Cold stimulation serves as an detrimental stressor, inducing inflammation in the body. Therefore, understanding the role of inflammatory responses induced by cold stimulation in the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases is of paramount importance. Given the impact of cold on inflammation in cardiovascular diseases and the expanding array of anti-inflammatory methods for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, delving into the inflammatory responses mediated by can significantly complement cardiovascular disease management. This review explorest the synergistic relationship between cold stimulation and inflammation induction, elucidating how this interplay influences the occurrence and progression of cardiovascular diseases.
