Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 1 year of supervised exercise training in obese individuals at high risk for developing HF, incorporating high intensity interval training (HIIT) two to three times per week in conjunction with daily oral administration of omega-3 poly-unsaturated fatty acids will lead to reduction in visceral adiposity, regression of myocardial triglyceride levels and improvements in cardiac diastolic and vascular function.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • ejection fraction >0.50
  • >2.0 kg visceral fat (intra- and retro-peritoneal adipose tissue)
  • either a high sensitivity troponin (>0.6pg/ml), or NTBNP (>40 ng/ml)
  • age range 40 -60
  • BMI range 30 - 50 kg/m2

Exclusion Criteria

  • age 60
  • body mass index > 50, < 30 kg/m2
  • history of insulin dependent diabetes, heart failure, myocarditis, restrictive cardiomyopathy, permanent/persistent atrial fibrillation, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, unstable coronary artery disease or recent (<12 month) acute coronary syndrome, cerebrovascular disease as evidenced by prior transient ischemic attack or stroke and active/recent tobacco use (quit < 5 years).
  • Female patients will be excluded if they are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (expected rare occurrence in the selected age range of 40 - 60). 5. Patients will be excluded if they are taking non-statin lipid lowering agents (fibrates, niacin, or fish oils)
  • Contra-indications to MRI
