About this Seminar
The lecture will summarize the current knowledge of mitochondrial/metabolic remodeling in heart failure. Dr. Tian will discuss the role of mitochondrial dysfunction — pertaining to bioenergetics and beyond — in the development of heart failure. Specifically, recent findings of mitochondrial biogenesis and quality control in heart failure with reduced or preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF or HFpEF) will be presented.
