Abnormal Glucose Tolerance Is Associated with a Reduced Myocardial Metabolic Flexibility in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy by Domenico Tricò, Simona Baldi, Silvia Frascerra, Elena Venturi, Paolo Marraccini, Danilo Neglia, Andrea Natali

“…In response to Pacing, glucose uptake promptly rose in N-AGT (from 72 ± 21 to 234 ± 73 nmol/min/g, p<0.05), did not change in DCM-AGT, and slowly increased in DCM-NGT. DCM-AGT sustained the extra workload by increasing NEFA oxidation (from 1.3 ± 0.2 to 2.9 ± 0.1 μmol/min/gO2 equivalents, p<0.05), while DCM-NGT showed a delayed increase in glucose uptake. …”
