The ‘Goldilocks zone’ of fatty acid metabolism and cardiac function
Professor Lisa Heather, Associate Professor, University of Oxford, British Heart Foundation Fellow, will explore the heart’s energy requirements and the fine balance between free fatty acid (FFA) delivery and utilisation for optimal cardiac function. The heart’s requirement for ATP (the energy currency) to support contractile functions cannot be underestimated. Energy availability (supply) and workload (demand) are in continual flux, resulting in large fluctuations in physiological demands.
CPD applied.
This webinar will cover:
- The basic principles of energy metabolism in the heart to support contractile function.
- Comprehension and understanding that the heart generates a large proportion of its energy from FFA derived mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to support contractile function.
- The underlying factors that alter FFA supply and delivery to the heart.
- The impact of FFA modifying treatments on contractile function.
