In normal weight, DCM is associated with reduced resting ATP delivery. In obese DCM, ATP demand through CK is greater, suggesting reduced efficiency of energy utilization. Dietary weight loss is associated with significant improvement in myocardial contractility, and a fall in ATP delivery, suggesting improved metabolic efficiency. This highlights distinct energetic pathways in obesity cardiomyopathy, which are both different from dilated cardiomyopathy, and may be reversible with weight loss.
