[Energy metabolism in the failing heart]
Abstract
Daily heart consumption of energy (about 6 kg of ATP) exceeds significantly energy consumption of other organs. Deprivation of energy is considered as one of the main factors in development of heart failure. Currently available research methods permit not only to evaluate more precisely the role of impaired energy metabolism in the heart failure, but also give a hope for the future metabolic therapy.
