Three major cardiovascular risk factors—obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia (a high blood concentration of cholesterol or triglycerides)—alter cardiac energy production by interfering in the uptake of the metabolic substrates the heart uses to generate energy. These substrates are mostly fats and glucose, and their altered uptake could be the cause of conditions like heart disease, which appear many years later. This is the finding of a study published in Diabetes Care, the journal of the American Diabetes Association and the leading journal in its field, and conducted by a team at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC) led by the cardiologists Valentín Fuster and Borja Ibáñez.
