About this Seminar

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