Metabolic adaptation to myocardial ischemia: The role of fatty acid imaging

  • Editorial
  • Published:
Journal of Nuclear Cardiology Aims and scope

Conclusion

Metabolic adaptation may represent one of the earliest responses to myocardial ischemia, left ventricular remodeling, diabetes, and uremic heart disease. Thus targeting alterations in myocellular metabolism may foster novel and effective therapeutic interventions. In the future, recognizing key intracellular signals that link energy substrate metabolism with gene expression will allow the discovery of more specific molecular targets for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
