Metabolic syndrome and C reactive protein are associated with a reduced myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency

CONCLUSION: Non-diabetic and prediabetic individuals with metabolic syndrome exhibit increased stroke work and myocardial oxygen consumption, and an impaired MEEi, an established predictor of adverse cardiovascular events, and elevated hsCRP levels in combination with metabolic syndrome aggravates the myocardial MEEi impairment.PMID:37235788 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgad300
