Non-programmed and programmed cardiomyocyte death in failing heart. Cardiomyocyte death contribute to loss of myocardium, especially after ischemia injury. Different types of programmed cell death are controlled by their specific signaling pathway. Modulating programmed cell death by targeting their signaling pathway can attenuate cardiac dysfunction after ischemia injury.
