The dynamic changes in mitochondrial membrane potential during right ventricular hypertrophy are chamber-specific, associated with activation of NFAT, and can be pharmacologically reversed leading to improved contractility. This mitochondrial remodeling might provide a framework for development of novel right ventricle-specific therapies.
