Primary outcomePrimary: Total Myocardial Oxygen Consumption (MVO2) — 1064; 1202; 947; 835 µmol/min
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.
