Ferroptosis is a newly discovered iron-dependent mode of programmed cell death, characterized by intracellular iron overload, glutathione depletion and lipid peroxidation. Hypertension is one of the important risk factors for the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and more and more studies have shown that hypertension is closely related to ferroptosis. This article will review the association between ferroptosis and hypertension, as well as the possible mechanisms of ferroptosis affecting hypertension, in order to provide new ideas for the treatment of hypertension.
