Brief description Heart failure (HF) is the most common basis for hospitalisation or cardiac death despite improved treatment options. Impaired energy generation within heart muscle is important in causing HF, but little is known about this process. I plan to investigate the effects of fatty acid overload, as occurs in obesity and/or diabetics, on cardiac energy generation. Then, I'll explore the benefits of limiting fatty acids during heart surgery, in order to help in understanding the causes of HF, and the benefits of new, energy-conserving treatments
