Assessing Cardiac Metabolism
A s a biological pump, the heart converts chemical energy into mechanical energy. This energy transfer is achieved through the coordinated activation or inactivation of enzymes, ion channels, and contractile, structural, and membrane proteins. The main goal of this statement is to describe how the many aspects of energy transfer in the heart are assessed, keeping in mind that metabolism is the ...
متن کاملMetabolism of Cardiac Muscle
Both pyruvate and lactate are extracted by the intact myocardium at physiological levels (1, 2) and are rapidly burned to CO2 in the intact cardiac muscle slice. They are interconverted by the diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent lactic acid dehydrogenase system and share a common final pathway for terminal oxidation (3, 4). Since these substrates are so closely related in carbohydrate metabo...
متن کاملCardiac metabolism and arrhythmias.
Sudden cardiac death remains a leading cause of death in the Western world, accounting for up to 20% of all deaths in the United States1,2 The major causes of sudden cardiac death in adults age 35 and older are coronary artery disease (70% to 80%) and dilated cardiomyopathy (10% to 15%).3 At the molecular level, a wide variety of mechanisms contribute to arrhythmias that cause sudden cardiac de...
متن کاملSignalling in cardiac metabolism.
The heart requires large amounts of energy to sustain contractile function, and is the major consumer of energy in the body on a weight basis. Energy reserves are limited in the heart, so energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) must be produced continually by the catabolism of different energy carbon substrates. The heart is an ‘omnivore’ and can use a number of different energy subs...
متن کاملOxygen Metabolism and Cardiac Regeneration
The adult mammalian heart is one of the least regenerative organs, and therefore injury to this organ system results in a significant health and economic burden globally. Although it has been shown that a low level of cardiomyocyte turnover does occur in adult mammals, it is not sufficient to induce functional recovery in the damaged heart. In contrast, some vertebrate species (including zebraf...
