Journal ArticleDOI

Oxygen Free Radical Release in Human Failing Myocardium Is Associated With Increased Activity of Rac1-GTPase and Represents a Target for Statin Treatment

TL;DR: Failing myocardium of patients with DCM and ICM is characterized by upregulation of NADPH oxidase–mediated ROS release associated with increased rac1 activity, which suggests that extrahepatic effects of statins can be observed in humans and may be beneficial for patients with chronic heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolic remodelling in heart failure

TL;DR: It is suggested that the alterations of intermediate substrate metabolism and oxidative stress rather than an ATP deficit per se account for maladaptive cardiac remodelling and dysfunction under resting conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated Cytosolic Na+ Decreases Mitochondrial Ca2+ Uptake During Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Impairs Energetic Adaptation in Cardiac Myocytes

TL;DR: The results indicate that mitochondria take up Ca2+ rapidly and contribute to fast buffering during a [Ca2+]c transient; and elevated Na+ ([Na+]i) impairs mitochondrial Ca2- uptake, with consequent effects on energy supply and demand matching.
Journal ArticleDOI

Calcium Signaling and Reactive Oxygen Species in Mitochondria

TL;DR: Targeting the dysregulated interplay between excitation–contraction coupling and mitochondrial energetics may ameliorate the progression of heart failure.
