Key result
Non-diabetic men with dilated cardiomyopathy had significantly lower myocardial triglyceride content (0.41% vs 0.86%, p=0.038) and larger epicardial fat depots compared to controls.
Case-Control (n=30)
Absolute Event Rate: 0.41% vs 0.86%
p-value: p=0.038
In non-diabetic men with dilated cardiomyopathy, myocardial triglyceride content is decreased while epicardial and pericardial fat depots are increased compared to controls.

Myocardial fat shifts may characterize non-diabetic dilated cardiomyopathy; leaves open causal roles and therapeutic relevance.
Granér et al. (2014) conducted a case-control in Dilated cardiomyopathy (n=30). Dilated cardiomyopathy vs. Controls was evaluated on Myocardial triglyceride content (p=0.038). Non-diabetic men with dilated cardiomyopathy had significantly lower myocardial triglyceride content (0.41% vs 0.86%, p=0.038) and larger epicardial fat depots compared to controls.
