Association between metabolism and function. Relationship of whole-body insulin sensitivity (M-value) with fractional shortening (A; r = 0.83, p < 0.001, n = 12) and E deceleration time (B; r = -0.62, p < 0.05, n = 12). Relationship of myocardial metabolic rate of glucose utilisation (MMRglu) with fractional shortening (C; r = 0.91, p < 0.005, n = 7) and E deceleration time (D; r = -0.70, p = 0.08, n = 7).
