Abstract
Background Diastolic dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in obese individuals. We aimed to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived left atrial (LA) strain to detect early diastolic dysfunction in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and to explore the association between cardiac adipose tissue and LA function. Methods Twenty patients with obesity and T2D (55 ± 8 years) and nineteen healthy controls (48 ± 13...
