Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Disease
Introduction Mitochondria are essential organelles responsible for the production of cellular energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). The heart, due to its continuous contractile activity, has a high energy demand and is critically dependent on mitochondrial function for normal physiological and pathological processes. Mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a central mechanism in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, hypertension, and arrhythmias. This technical overview discusses the molecular mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease, its impact on cellular and organ function, and the potential therapeutic strategies to mitigate mitochondrial-related pathophysiology in CVDs.
