The goal of experts is to find the best ways to treat new heart conditions like triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy. Triglycerides are not breaking down properly in this case because of a defect in cells in the heart. Heart failure is the end result of this disease.
In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, people with triglyceride deposit cardiomyovasculopathy who took the substance tricaprin (found in coconut oil or MCT oil) had longer mortality rates over the long run. The people in the control group had better heart health than the people who did not get tricaprin. In this, there was better breakdown of fat, faster healing from heart failure, and improvements in the left ventricle.
Cardiologist Dr. Randy Gould with Manhattan Cardiology in NYC, who was not involved in the study, noted the findings and commented. Read the article.
