Abstract excerpt
Insulin resistance and right ventricular (RV) dysfunction are associated with lipotoxicity in heritable forms of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), commonly due to mutations in bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2). How BMPR2 dysfunction in cardiomyocytes alters glucose metabolism and the response of these cells to insulin are unknown. We hypothesized that BMPR2 mutation in cardiomyocytes alters...
