Mitochondrial Structural Abnormalities and Cardiac Reverse Remodeling in Patients With Systolic Dysfunction

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction in the heart is associated with the development of heart failure (HF). However, the clinical consequences of mitochondrial structural abnormalities in patients with HF remain unexplored. METHODS AND RESULTS: Ninety-one patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction who underwent endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) were enrolled in the study. Myocardial specimens were...
