Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in nonhuman primate model of dysmetabolism and diabetes
2015
Background
Diabetes is one of the major risk factors for cardiomyopathy and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (EF) and highly associated with left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in human. This study aimed 1) to noninvasively assess cardiac function using echocardiography; 2) to test the hypothesis that like diabetic human, cardiac function may also be compromised; in spontaneously developed obese, dysmetabolic and diabetic nonhuman primates (NHPs).
