Mitochondria are cellular organelles responsible for energy production, calcium handling, controlled synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and regulation of apoptosis. All these functions are crucial for cardiac homeostasis, and may be impaired in chronic heart failure (CHF). Therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction might represent a crucial element in the onset and progression of CHF and, as such, a promising therapeutic target.

Abstract

Mitochondria are cellular organelles responsible for energy production, calcium handling, controlled synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and regulation of apoptosis. All these functions are crucial for cardiac homeostasis, and may be impaired in chronic heart failure (CHF). Therefore, mitochondrial dysfunction might represent a crucial element in the onset and progression of CHF and, as such, a promising therapeutic target.
