ABSTRACT
Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the third endogenous gaseous mediator following nitric oxide and carbon monoxide. It has been demonstrated that H2S plays important regulatory roles in modulating the physiological and pathophysiological processes of the nervous system, respiratory system, digestive system, and cardiovascular system. Recently, regulatory roles of H2S in cardiovascular system are widely focused and seem to be complex. Here we sum up the roles of H2S in mediating the cardiovascular regulation and illustrate its underlying mechanisms and perspectives.
