Abstract: This literature review reviews the studies carried out on the effect of ultra-processed foods on the cardiovascular system. A specific analysis is made of some additives (glutamates, sweeteners, emulsifiers, sulfites), processing contaminants (acrylamide, acrolein), packaging contaminants (bisphenol A) and some characteristics of this type of food, such as high salt and fat content. Aquesta revisió bibliogràfica repassa els estudis realitzats sobre l'efecte dels aliments ultraprocessats en el sistema cardiovascular. Es fa una anàlisi específica d'alguns additius (glutamats, edulcorants, emulsionants, sulfits), contaminants de processament (acrilamida, acroleïna), contaminants d'envasos (bisfenol A) i algunes característiques d'aquest tipus d'aliments, com l'alt contingut en sal i greixos.
