Cardiac Failure 2013 - Epigenetics, MicroRNA and Mitochondria

Key Topics

• Cardiac myocyte stress and survival
• Epigenomics in heart failure
• Monitoring cardiac failure
• The role of mitochondrial DNA

In areas, including:

• Introduce how the mitochondrion influences cardiac cell stress and survival - the role of mitochondrial DNA
• Present state of the art research centred on epigenetics and epigenomics in heart failure, including the impact of chromatin architecture on cardiac myocyte stress - and survival
• How to monitor cardiac failure - circulating microRNA as biomarkers of CVD
