This review explores how oxidative stress influences mitochondrial quality control and autophagy in heart failure, suggesting potential therapeutic targets.
Key Points
Oxidative stress enhances mitochondrial dysfunction and may contribute to worsening heart failure outcomes.
Mitochondrial quality control, autophagy, and sirtuins interact significantly in heart failure pathology.
Identifying the common pathways among these components could lead to innovative treatment strategies for heart failure.
The dual roles of autophagy—both beneficial and detrimental—highlight its complexity in heart failure mechanisms.
