Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Heart failure is a complex clinical syndrome, which results from disorders that impair ventricular filling or ejection of blood. Despite advances in treatment, the prognosis of heart failure remains poor. An intrinsic component of heart failure pathophysiology is the impairment of cardiac function. Metabolic dysfunction, such as impaired branched-chain amino acid catabolism, decreased fatty acid oxidation, and depressed urea cycle function, are detectable in at-risk individuals prior to the development of heart failure and may contribute to alterations in cardiac structure and function. Comorbidities frequently accompany heart failure—for example, hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia, which are also affected by metabolic dysfunction. The role of metabolic dysfunction in the progression of cardiac dysfunction and its relationship to heart failure incidence, as well as its interplay with comorbidities, remain elusive. This Special Issue of Metabolites will be dedicated to publishing current advances in metabolic changes that contribute to cardiac dysfunction, heart failure, and its comorbidities.
