Effect of Obesity and Insulin Resistance on Myocardial Substrate Metabolism and Efficiency in Young Women

Abstract

Background— Obesity is a risk factor for impaired cardiac performance, particularly in women. Animal studies suggest that alterations in myocardial fatty acid metabolism and efficiency in obesity can cause decreased cardiac performance. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that myocardial fatty acid metabolism and efficiency are abnormal in obese women. Methods and Results— We studied 31 young women (body mass index [BMI] 19 to 52 kg/m 2 ); 19 were obese (BMI >30 kg/m 2 ). Myocardial oxygen consumption (MV̇ o 2 ) and fatty acid uptake (MFAUp), utilization (MFAU), and oxidation (MFAO) were quantified by positron emission tomography. Cardiac work was measured by echocardiography, and efficiency was calculated as work/MV̇ o 2 . BMI correlated with MV̇ o 2 ( r =0.58, P =0.0006), MFAUp ( r =0.42, P <0.05), and efficiency ( r =−0.40, P <0.05). Insulin resistance, quantified by the glucose area under the curve (AUC) during an oral glucose tolerance test, correlated with MFAUp ( r =0.55, P <0.005), MFAU ( r =0.62, P <0.001), and MFAO ( r =0.58, P <0.005). A multivariate, stepwise regression analysis showed that BMI was the only independent predictor of MV̇ o 2 and efficiency ( P =0.0005 and P <0.05, respectively). Glucose AUC was the only independent predictor of MFAUp, MFAU, and MFAO ( P <0.05, <0.005, and <0.005, respectively). Conclusions— In young women, obesity is a significant predictor of increased MV̇ o 2 and decreased efficiency, and insulin resistance is a robust predictor of MFAUp, MFAU, and MFAO. This increase in fatty acid metabolism and decrease in efficiency is concordant with observations made in experimental models of obesity. These metabolic changes may play a role in the pathogenesis of decreased cardiac performance in obese women.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
