Abstract

Diabetic Cardiomyopathy is the worldwide leading cause of lethal heart disorders burdening the healthcare systems. Mitochondrion is the key regulator of myocardial metabolism. It fuels the cardiocytes and regulates the pumping activity of heart. People living with diabetes have defected myocardial metabolism which may likely to cause ventricular dysfunction or other heart disorders due to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutation. Furthermore, the inflammatory injury due to inflammasome activation is a potent contributor to the cardiac injuries. Though the mechanism of inflammation is still poorly known. This review highlights the association of altered mitochondrial energetics and inflammasome activation with cardiomyopathies.
