Fatty heart
This study started while ago and the status was unknown, it was recently updated as complete so I guess there were some Covid related issues for the long delay. The purpose was to evaluate the relationship between GH deficiency and fat accumulation inside the heart muscles. Obviously obesity/high levels of VAT will be causing cardiac steatosis but HIV and long term use of antivirals also disturbs glucose/fat metabolism resulting in high blood sugar/fat. That’s the thinking among others behind increased prevalence of fatty liver/heart among PLWH. So it will be interesting to know what was the conclusion. Again point is there are several ongoing studies evaluating various therapeutic benefits of Tesamorelin and some are for serious conditions such as heart attack although
ischaemic heart diseases are more common metabolic heart diseases are still very common specifically among PLWH.
