Myocardial energetics and efficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
In addition to structural and functional abnormalities, it is well established that energy homeostasis is impaired in the failing heart. As the heart requires large amounts of energy to sustain its continuous pumping activity, it is highly dependent on an optimal substrate metabolism with efficient ATP generation and utilization. Alterations in processes related to energy production as well as energy utilization in the failing heart may lead to energetic imbalance, an inefficient hearts with impaired contractile reserve.

The effects of continuous positive airway pressure on myocardial energetics in patients with heart failure and obstructive sleep apnea.
OBJECTIVES We sought to examine the short-term and longer term (6-week) effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on myocardial energetics. BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and heart failure (HF) are both states of increased afterload and metabolic demand. Treatment with CPAP may initially reduce stroke volume but subsequently improves left ventricular function. However, i...
متن کاملThe effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy on left ventricular function, myocardial energetics, and metabolic reserve in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
OBJECTIVES The effects of long-term cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on left ventricular (LV) energetics and metabolic reserve were evaluated. BACKGROUND Cardiac resynchronization therapy is a new therapy for patients with drug-refractory severe heart failure (HF). METHODS Ten patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy who had undergone implantation of biventricular pacemaker 8 ...
متن کاملAlbiglutide, a Long Lasting Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Analog, Protects the Rat Heart against Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury: Evidence for Improving Cardiac Metabolic Efficiency
BACKGROUND The cardioprotective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and analogs have been previously reported. We tested the hypothesis that albiglutide, a novel long half-life analog of GLP-1, may protect the heart against I/R injury by increasing carbohydrate utilization and improving cardiac energetic efficiency. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with albig...
متن کاملEffects of mitral valve surgery on myocardial energetics in patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
BACKGROUND Hemodynamically significant mitral regurgitation (MR) may alter left ventricular (LV) myocardial energy requirements. The effects of MR and subsequent corrective mitral valve (MV) surgery on myocardial energetics are not well understood. A better understanding of myocardial energetics and the LV responses to changes in preload and afterload may assist with the understanding of mitral...
متن کاملEffects of short-term continuous positive airway pressure on myocardial sympathetic nerve function and energetics in patients with heart failure and obstructive sleep apnea: a randomized study.
BACKGROUND Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 2 states of increased metabolic demand and sympathetic nervous system activation, often coexist. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), which alleviates OSA, can improve ventricular function. It is unknown whether this is due to altered oxidative metabolism or presynaptic sympathetic nerve function. ...
متن کاملCan a Shift in Fuel Energetics Explain the Beneficial Cardiorenal Outcomes in the EMPA-REG OUTCOME Study? A Unifying Hypothesis.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus causes excessive morbidity and premature cardiovascular (CV) mortality. Although tight glycemic control improves microvascular complications, its effects on macrovascular complications are unclear. The recent publication of the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study documenting impressive benefits with empagliflozin (a sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 [SGLT2] inhibitor) on CV and all-cau...
