Abstract
We thank Haufe et al for their insightful comments on our study of adipose tissue inflammation and adiponectin resistance in patients with advanced heart failure (HF) and the impact of mechanical unloading.1 We appreciate the observation that incorrect homeostasis model of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) values were listed in Table 3. Upon recalculation using the HOMA-IR formula, the correct values were found to be 1.0±0.6 for controls, 7.6±7.7 in advanced HF ( P =0.02 versus controls) and 4.5±3.6 after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support ( P =0.01 versus HF). This supports the conclusion …
