Intramyocardial fat levels and correlation with LV diastolic dysfunction parameterssurrogate
Intramyocardial fat is significantly elevated in HFpEF compared to HFrEF and controls, and correlates with LV diastolic dysfunction, suggesting a potential pathophysiological role.
Resumen
Patients with HFpEF had significantly more intramyocardial fat than HFrEF patients or non-HF controls. Independent of risk factors or gender, intramyocardial fat correlated with LV diastolic dysfunction parameters in HFpEF patients.
