Background: Little is known about the relations between dietary patterns, metabolic
dysfunction, and left ventricular (LV) function. Objective: The objective was to examine
associations of dietary patterns with LV mass and function and to explore the potential role
of metabolic dysfunction in the association between diet and LV function. Design: Dietary
patterns that maximally explained the variation in metabolic syndrome (MetSyn) components
were derived by using reduced rank regression (RRR). LV mass, stroke volume, and LV …
