Apoptosis is characterized by active intracellular communication, loss of cellular attachment, cell shrinkage, DNA fragmentation and phagocytosis. Recently accumulated evidence indicates that apoptosis is involved in both physiological and pathophysiological processes of heart failure. Many factors have been identified that induce cardiomyocyte apoptosis during heart failure. However, many questions remain to be answered regarding the pathophysiological triggers of apoptosis and their mechanisms. As such, due to the incipient state of research regarding the question as to whether apoptotic inhibition delays or prevents heart failure, it appears advanced molecular and pharmaco-genomic studies will be essential in identifying potential targets in prospective therapies for the prevention of apoptosis.Keywords: Heart failure, apoptosisTurkiye Klinikleri J Med Sci 2005, 25:85-92
