The relationship between hepatic triglyceride content and myocardial metabolism in type 2 diabetes was investigated, but results are not available due to a truncated abstract.
Observational (n=61)
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between hepatic triglyceride content and both myocardial function and metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Background: Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in T2DM. Central obesity and hepatic steatosis, both hallmark abnormalities in T2DM, have been related to increased risk of heart disease. Methods: Sixty-one T2DM patients underwent myocardial perfusion and substrate metabolism measurements by positron emission tomography, using [
Rijzewijk et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=61). Hepatic triglyceride content was evaluated on Myocardial function and metabolism. The relationship between hepatic triglyceride content and myocardial metabolism in type 2 diabetes was investigated, but results are not available due to a truncated abstract.
