Mitochondria, known as the powerhouses of the cell, play a vital role in maintaining cardiac energy homeostasis, regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and controlling cell death pathways. Dysregulated mitochondrial function results in impaired adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, excessive ROS generation, and activation of apoptotic and necrotic pathways, collectively driving the progression of CVDs. This review provides a detailed examination of the molecular mechanisms underlying mitochondrial dysfunction in CVDs, including mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), defects in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), and alterations in mitochondrial dynamics (fusion, fission, and mitophagy). Additionally, the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in specific cardiovascular conditions is explored, highlighting its impact on endothelial dysfunction, myocardial remodeling, and arrhythmias. Emerging therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial dysfunction, such as mitochondrial antioxidants, metabolic modulators, and gene therapy, are also discussed. By synthesizing recent advances in mitochondrial biology and cardiovascular research, this review aims to enhance understanding of the role of mitochondria in CVDs and identify potential therapeutic targets to improve cardiovascular outcomes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26051917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,24]],"date-time":"2025-02-24T06:47:17Z","timestamp":1740379637000},"page":"1917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":87,"title":["Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Cardiovascular Diseases"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1548-2351","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Han-Mo","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul 03080, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2982","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2020.11.010","article-title":"Global burden of cardiovascular diseases and risk factors, 1990\u20132019: Update from the GBD 2019 study","volume":"76","author":"Roth","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
