Summary

Obesity adversely affects myocardial (muscular heart tissue) metabolism, efficiency, and diastolic function. The objective of this study was to determine if weight loss could improve obesity-related myocardial metabolism and efficiency and if these improvements were directly related to improved diastolic function.
