Aging is associated with progressive decline in cardiac structure and function. Accumulating evidence in model organisms and humans links cardiac aging to mitochondrial regulation, encompassing a complex interplay of mitochondrial morphology, mitochondrial ROS, mitochondrial DNA mutations, mitochondrial unfolded protein response, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide levels and sirtuins, as well as mitophagy. This review summarizes the recent discoveries on the mitochondrial regulation of cardiac aging and the possible molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-aging effects, as well as the potential interventions that alleviate aging-related cardiac diseases and attenuate cardiac aging via the regulation of mitochondria.
