title: Metabolic myopathy in heart failure.
abstract: Heart failure is a syndrome that also affects the periphery. Exercise intolerance and early fatigue seem to be linked in part to intrinsic alterations of skeletal muscle with decreases in both the production of ATP by mitochondria and the transfer of energy through the phosphotransfer kinases.
