Type 2 diabetes mellitus’ impact on heart failure patients’ exercise tolerance: a focus on maximal fat oxidation during exercise by Huiying Zhu, Huiying Zhu, Jianchao Pan, Jianxuan Wen, Jianxuan Wen, Xiaojing Dang, Xiaojing Dang, Xiankun Chen, Xiankun Chen, Yunxiang Fan, Yunxiang Fan, Weihui Lu, Weihui Lu, Wei Jiang, Wei Jiang

“…We determined their fat oxidation (FATox) by indirect calorimetry.ResultsIn the HF patients, the peak oxygen uptake (VO2) value was 14.76 ± 3.27 ml/kg/min in the T2DM group and 17.76 ± 4.64 ml/kg/min in the non-T2DM group. After adjusting for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), log N-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (log NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), hemoglobin, renal function, coronary heart disease and hypertension, the peak VO2 was lower in the T2DM group compared to the non-T2DM group with a mean difference (MD) of −2.0 ml/kg/min [95% confidence interval (CI), −3.18 to −0.82, P < 0.01]. …”
