A. Correlations with left ventricular relaxation improvement (ΔE’).

	ΔBMI	ΔMAP	ΔHOMA	ΔTotal MVO₂	ΔLV mass	ΔTotal myocardial fatty acid utilization

ΔE’	r=-0.46	r=-0.01	r=-0.41	r=0.56	r=0.56	r=0.18
ΔE’	P=0.01	P=0.95	P=0.03	P=0.002	P=0.002	P=0.37

B. Independent predictors of LV relaxation improvement.
