Cardiac Metabolism. Our body obtains its energy from food. Through the digestive process, food is degraded and the body can obtains carbohydrates, fatty acids, and other relevant nutrients. As a perfect machine, in the body each organ has a specific function but not all needs the same amount of energy. In this sense; heart, brain and kidney are organs metabolically most important. In our body, heart is the responsible of pumping blood through the body, with this movement blood can transport nutrients and to remove waste from each organ and mainly, each cell. That cardiac activity justifies the high energetic requirement. Interestingly, heart only needs energy to the relaxation process. During the cardiac metabolic, heart uses lactic acid, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. Interestingly, 60-70 % of cardiac energy is obtained from fatty acid and 30-40 % from carbohydrate. In specific conditions like prolonged fast, heart uses in higher proportion fatty acids and can use lactic acid. Although in normal condition, the heart has a set of enzymes necessary to process fatty acids. In metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes, some metabolic enzymes has alterations in their expression or activity, situations that can exacerbate alterations in the heart.

Cardiac Metabolism.

Our body obtains its energy from food. Through the digestive process, food is degraded and the body can obtains carbohydrates, fatty acids, and other relevant nutrients. As a perfect machine, each organ in the body each organ has a specific function but not all needs the same amount of energy. In this sense; the heart, brain and kidney are the organs metabolically most important.

In our body, the heart is the responsible of for pumping blood through around the body, with this movement blood can transport nutrients and to remove waste from each organ and mainly, each cell. That cardiac activity justifies the high energetic requirement. Interestingly, the heart only needs energy to for the relaxation process.

During the cardiac metabolism, the heart uses lactic acid, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. Interestingly, 60-70 % of cardiac energy is obtained from fatty acid and 30-40 % from carbohydrates. In specific conditions like prolonged fasting, the heart uses in higher proportion fatty acids in a higher proportion which can include lactic acid.and can use lactic acid.

Although in normal conditions, the heart has a set of enzymes necessary to process fatty acids. In metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes, some metabolic enzymes have  alterations in their expression or activity, situations that can exacerbate alterations in the heart.

Nice writing!  I wrote my suggestions below.  In general, you may want to keep an eye on when and when not to use the word "the" before a noun.

 

Cardiac Metabolism.

Our body obtains its energy from food. Through the digestive process, food is degraded and the body can obtains carbohydrates, fatty acids, and other relevant nutrients. As a perfect machine, in the body each organ in the body has a specific function, but not all needs the same amount of energy. In this sense;, the heart, brain and kidney are the organs metabolically most important.

In our body, the heart is the one responsible of for pumping blood throughout the body,.  With this movement, blood can transport nutrients and to remove waste from each organ and mainly, each cell. That cardiac activity justifies the high energetic requirement. Interestingly, the heart only needs energy to the relaxation process. [Do you mean the heart only needs energy while its relaxing? Consider re-phrasing the sentence]

During the cardiac metabolic metabolism, the heart uses lactic acid, carbohydrates, and fatty acids. Interestingly, 60-70 % 60-70% of cardiac energy is obtained from fatty acid and 30-40% from carbohydrates. In specific conditions like prolonged fasting [or you could say "a prolonged fast"], the heart uses in higher proportion fatty acids in higher proportion and can use lactic acid.

Although in under normal conditions, the heart has a set of enzymes necessary to process fatty acids. In metabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome and diabetes, some metabolic enzymes has alterations in their expression or activity, situations that can exacerbate alterations in the heart.
