Cardiac work is supported by a high rate of ATP hydrolysis, matched by ATP production through mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (Fig. 1). Low ATP content in cardiac tissue was observed in patients with chronic heart failure despite the absence of myocardial ischaemia [1]. Mitochondrial function in cardiac tissue from the failing heart demonstrated that the capacity of the mitochondria for oxygen consumption and oxidative phosphorylation are significantly reduced compared to the normal heart [2]. Furthermore, morphological examination of the failing heart
