Modification of myocardial substrate use as a therapy for heart failure
2006
In healthy adult hearts approximately 70% of energy is obtained from fatty acids; the balance comes from lactate, pyruvate and ketones. The pattern of substrate use is altered in failing hearts. This Review discusses substrate use and the possible benefits of using metabolic agents to cause a shift away from fatty acids as the main substrate.
