AbstractElderly patients undergoing cardiac surgery are more likely to suffer postoperative heart failure than younger patients. This phenomenon is mirrored by an age-related loss of mitochondrial function and by an in vitro loss of myocardial contractile force following a stress. To examine the possibility that loss of mtDNA integrity may be responsible, we quantified representative age-associated mtDNA mutations (mtDNA 4977 and mtDNA A3243G) and mtDNA copy number using quantitative polymerase chain reaction in atrial samples obtained during cardiac surgery. The myocardium underwent organ bath contractility testing before and after either an ischaemic or hypoxic stress. We found that with age, recovery of developed force after either stressor significantly declined (p < 0.0001). The abundance of mtDNA 4977 correlated weakly with loss of contractility (R 2 = 0.09, p = 0.047). However, the abundance level was low (average 0.0075% of total mtDNA) and the correlation disappeared when age was included in a multivariate analysis. Neither the abundance of mtDNA A3243G nor mtDNA copy number correlated with reduced recovery of developed force after stress. We conclude that, although mtDNA mutations (as exemplified by mtDNA 4977) accumulate in the ageing heart, they are unlikely to make a major contribution to loss of contractile function. © 2009 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
