Cardiovascular diseases, which include heart failure, are the leading cause of death worldwide. Moreover, the global incidence of heart failure is increasing; however, accurate diagnostics and effective therapies both remain elusive.

Accurate characterization of the distribution and concentration of lipid classes and species has recently emerged as a tool to identify risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and further conditions.

The study involving mice and humans revealed the importance of lipid metabolism in adipose tissue and phosphatidylethanolamine species in the pathology of cardiac failure.
