Research Article: Differential association of abdominal, liver, and epicardial adiposity with anthropometry, diabetes, and cardiac remodeling in Asians
Abstract:
Background: Heterogenous deposition and homeostasis roles of physiologic and ectopic adipose tissues underscore the impact of fat compartmentalization on cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to characterize the distribution of abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), and liver fat on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and evaluate their associations with anthropometric indices and adverse cardiac remodeling.
