Myocardial Energy Metabolism

Meaning

Myocardial energy metabolism refers to the dynamic biochemical processes by which the heart muscle, the myocardium, generates and utilizes the substantial energy required for continuous contraction and relaxation. The heart is a metabolic omnivore, capable of deriving energy from various substrates, primarily fatty acids, but also glucose, lactate, and ketones. Maintaining efficient energy production is critical, as any imbalance in substrate utilization or ATP generation can lead to contractile dysfunction and eventual heart failure. Optimal hormonal signaling is essential for regulating this metabolic flexibility.
