Cardiac function is required for blood circulation and systemic oxygen delivery.
However, the heart has intrinsic oxygen demands that must be met to maintain
effective contractility. Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription
factor that functions as a master regulator of oxygen homeostasis in all metazoan
species. HIF-1 controls oxygen delivery, by regulating angiogenesis and vascular
remodeling, and oxygen utilization, by regulating glucose metabolism and redox
homeostasis. Analysis of animal models suggests that by activation of these
homeostatic mechanisms, HIF-1 plays a critical protective role in the
pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease and pressure-overload heart failure.
