The heart is especially vulnerable to mitochondrial derangements. In fact, many cardiomyopathies are caused by anomalous mitochondrial metabolism or alterations of mitochondrial bioenergetics. The involvement of mitochondria in cardiac diseases is likely to be extended to structural changes, since mitochondrial activity and cellular signaling are tightly linked with mitochondrial morphology. A major example of this link is provided by the relationship between mitochondrial fragmentation and the progression of apoptosis. Among the proteins involved in mitochondrial dynamics, the dynamin-like GTPase Optic Atrophy 1 (OPA 1) is required for mitochondrial inner membrane fusion and maintenance of normal cristae structure.
