Vascular calcification is an active, adjustable and complex biological process. It is an independent hazard factor for cardiovascular events and there is a lack of effective treatment. As a newly discovered regulated cell death, ferroptosis is closely related to iron metabolism, lipid metabolism, glutathione metabolism and so on. In recent years, studies have shown that ferroptosis may be implicated in the occurrence and progression of vascular calcification. Based on the introduction of ferroptosis, this review will discuss the close relationship between ferroptosis and vascular calcification from intimal calcification, medial calcification and heart valve calcification, in order to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of vascular calcification.
