Abstract

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine the association of adipocyte fatty acid-binding protein (FABP4) levels with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in obese subjects with varying degrees of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS: Fifty morbidly obese subjects with LVDD were selected at random and matched by age (+/- 5 years) and sex with 50 morbidly obese with normal left ...
