Should not change clinical practice; leaves open translation of reduced cardiac efficiency to human diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Does diabetes reduce cardiac efficiency in mouse models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
Diabetic hearts exhibit decreased cardiac efficiency driven by increased oxygen consumption for noncontractile purposes.
