Thiazolidinediones may contribute to the intramyocardial lipid accumulation in diabetic myocardium: effects on cardiac function

TZD-treated patients presented a reduced FS compared to non-TZD-treated patients. [...]we evidence that a close correlation exists between cardiac function and myocardial morphology in TZD-treated patients since the cardiac dysfunction was independent from the MS severity and was associated with a m...

Zusammenfassung:TZD-treated patients presented a reduced FS compared to non-TZD-treated patients. [...]we evidence that a close correlation exists between cardiac function and myocardial morphology in TZD-treated patients since the cardiac dysfunction was independent from the MS severity and was associated with a marked cardiomyocyte lipid accumulation.
