Abstract: As lipid-regulating drug, the mechanism of fenofibrate is not clear. A large number of basic studies have been confirmed that it can inhibit myocardial hypertrophy. The clinical treatment of myocardial hypertrophy has provided a broad field of vision and theoretical basis. The treatment of fenofibrate in myocardial hypertrophy through the possible mechanism was reviewed. Further understanding of the other pharmacological effects of fenofibrate except for regulating blood lipid is needed. Further signal pathway and broader prospects are expected.

Key words: fenofibrate, myocardial hypertrophy, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α, mechanism
