- Location Online
- Organised by Vascular, Lipid and Metabolic Medicine Section
This webinar will illustrate the utility of untargeted and targeted lipidomics to identify dysregulated fatty acid metabolism in and beyond the mitochondria and new signatures of diseases.
Dr Matthieu Ruiz, Associate Professor, Université de Montréal, Department of nutrition, Co-director-Metabolomics Platform, Montreal Heart Institute, Canada, will provide an insightful lecture, followed by a Q&A session.
This webinar will cover:
- New knowledge related to the application of lipidomics in heart failure
- The implication of acylcarnitines to reflect mitochondrial fatty acid utilization/oxidation disturbances
- The clinical significance of disturbances in fatty acid metabolism-related to heart failure
This webinar is part of a monthly series that looks at the mitochondrial, metabolic and lipidomic aspects of the heart. The next webinar in this series is in May, Mitochondrial substrate flexibility in the heart – The sweet side of metabolism.
