| Title: | Lipids and diastolic dysfunction: Recent evidence and findings. |
| Abstract: | AIM: Diastolic dysfunction is the decreased flexibility of the left ventricle due to the impaired ability of the myocardium to relax and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Lipid metabolism is a well-known contributor to cardiac conditions, including ventricular function. In this article, we aimed to review the literature addressing the connections between lipids, their storage, and metabolism with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. DATA SYNTHESIS: We searched Google scholar, Pubmed, Embase and Researchgate for our keywords: "Diastolic function", "Fat" and "Lipid profile". Initially, 250 articles were selected by title and 84 of them were chosen as most relevant and directly reviewed. CONCLUSIONS: Alterations of lipid metabolism in cardiac muscle and cardiac lipid content can occur in many conditions, including consumption of a high-fat diet, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). These conditions induce alterations in myocardial lipid metabolism, increase myocardial fat content and epicardial fat thickness and increase inflammation and oxidative stress which ultimately lead to cardiac lipotoxicity and diastolic dysfunction. The effects of lipids on diastolic function can differ based on gender. Lipid profile and metabolism are as important in the pathogenesis of diastolic dysfunction as they are in other cardiovascular disorders. A more careful look at cardiac lipid metabolism in molecular, histological and gross levels results in more precise understanding of its role in myocardial function and leads to development of potential treatments for diastolic dysfunction. |
