Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Key result
Mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to impaired oxygen utilization and exercise intolerance in HFpEF.
Why the study?
Mitochondrial abnormalities can significantly contribute to impaired oxygen utilization and exercise intolerance in HFpEF, but the evidence, assessment methods, and therapeutic potential require synthesis.
