Abstract
⺠Mitochondrial fusion/fission has not been observed in normal adult cardiomyocytes (84). ⺠Genetic inhibition of mitochondrial fusion causes fragmentation and heart failure (84). ⺠Thus, mitochondrial fusion/fission is essential to normal cardiac health (75). ⺠Mitochondrial fission is associated with programmed cardiomyocyte death (74). ⺠Inhibiting mitochondrial fission may protect against cardiac injury (71).
