Background and Objective: Heart failure (HF) is a global public health problem with high morbidity, readmission, and mortality rates. The central mediators of cardiomyocyte survival and death are mitochondria. Mitochondria are a key therapeutic target for HF and are closely involved in the pathophysiological process of HF. A recent study proposes that cuproptosis, a novel cell death mechanism, is closely related to mitochondrial respiration. Therefore, this study aims to explore the link between cuproptosis and HF, and to find novel therapeutic targets and treatments for HF.Methods: A literature search (up to April 2022) was conducted through PubMed database, and the search range was limited to publications in English. After further literature search and screening, we found that we are currently the first study to explore the association between HF and cuproptosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
