The mechanisms underlying the transition from cardiac hypertrophy to heart failure following pressure overload are incompletely understood. Here the authors identify the gene programs encoding the morphological and functional characteristics of cardiomyocytes during the transition from early hypertrophy to heart failure via single-cell transcriptomics, establishing a key role for p53 signalling.
