Cardiac Energy Metabolism in Health and Disease
The heart has a very high energy demand but very little energy reserves. In order to sustain contractile function, the heart has to continually produce a large amount of ATP. The heart utilizes free fatty acids mainly and carbohydrates to some extent as substrates for making energy, and any change in this energy supply can seriously compromise cardiac function. It has emerged that alterations in cardiac energy metabolism are a major contributor to the development of a number of different forms of heart disease. It is also now known that optimizing energy metabolism in the heart is a viable and important approach to treating various forms o…

Über den Autor
Dr. Gary Lopaschuk is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. His research focuses on the regulatory pathways involved in energy metabolism in the heart, particularly the integrated regulation of fatty acid oxidation and carbohydrate metabolism in the normal, diabetic and the reperfused ischemic heart. He has characterized a number of key enzymes important in the regulation of cardiac fatty acid oxidation and is exploring metabolic strategies to treat heart disease and obesity. Dr. Naranjan Dhalla is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada. His expertise includes the subcellular and molecular basis of heart function in health and disease. He has been engaged over the past 40 years in multidisciplinary research in ischemic heart disease, diabetic cardiomyopathy and heart failure as well as education for promoting scientific basis cardiology and training of professional manpower for combating heart disease.
