Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are single-strand covalently closed circular noncoding RNAs that are endogenous transcripts generated from linear precursor mRNA through a backsplicing mechanism. With the development of high-throughput sequencing technology, a number of circRNAs have been identified and proved to play key roles in various pathophysiological processes, such as metabolic diseases, cancers, and cardiovascular diseases. An increasing number of studies have shown that circRNAs are widely expressed in cardiac tissues and play important roles in the development of multiple cardiovascular diseases. Here, we review the current understanding of circRNA biogenesis and functions and the roles of circRNAs in cardiovascular diseases. We also highlight the molecular mechanisms underlying the role of circRNAs in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. A better understanding of the biological function of circRNAs in cardiovascular diseases will be help ful for the development of effective biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
