Abnormalities of cardiac energy metabolism make an important contribution to chronic heart
failure. This review summarizes the main events in cardiac energy metabolism, discusses
abnormalities in these metabolic processes in heart failure, and looks to future treatments of
heart failure that entail correction of the metabolic defects.
