Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a glycoprotein that is a representative of the tumor necrosis factor-α receptor superfamily. Information about the possible role of OPG in the development of cardiovascular diseases has begun to appear in the literature in recent years. This review discusses the role of increasing the level of OPG in the development and progression of atherosclerosis and as a consequence of coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure.

The research project outlines a new look at the concept of "inflammaging" and the role of the subclinical inflammatory process in various age-associated pathology, in particular coronary heart disease. Particular attention is paid to the tumor necrosis factor-α -cytokine, which plays an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory processes and in the aging process. The increased content of tumor necrosis factor-α leads to the emergence and accumulation of various diseases, disability and mortality of elderly and senile people. Tumor necrosis factor-α influences various risk factors for cardiovascular pathology. This substance aggravates various breakdowns in metabolism, primarily causing insulin resistance. Tumor necrosis factor-α is a key cytokine that stimulates bone resorption (osteoporosis) and sarcopenia. Currently available data prove the important role of tumor necrosis factor-α in various age-associated pathologies.
