Myocardial Steatosis and Left Ventricular Function in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus : Assessed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy

In conclusion, a short-term HFHE diet in healthy males results in major increases in plasma triglycerides and NEFA concentrations and hepatic fat content, whereas it does not

content was entered as a dependent variable and age, BMI, visceral adipose tissue, and hepatic triglyceride content (which were all significantly correlated to myocardial

Short-term caloric restriction increases plasma levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and is associated with increased myocardial triglyceride content and decreased myocar-

Furthermore, E peak filling rate, E acceleration peak of mitral flow velocity, and E deceleration peak of mitral flow velocity were significantly lower in patients as compared

Myocardial triglyceride content is increased in uncomplicated T2DM and associated with impaired left ventricular diastolic function, independently of age, BMI, heart rate,

We studied the effect of pioglitazone, versus metformin, on myocardial function, dimensions and perfusion, in as- sociation with cardiac glucose and fatty acid metabolism, as well

T he aim of this thesis was to obtain more insight into the influence of myocardial steatosis on left ventricular function in healthy volunteers and in patients with type 2

Myocardial triglyceride content is increased in uncomplicated type 2 diabetes mellitus and associated with impaired left ventricular diastolic function, independently of age,
