Research Article: The association of perirenal adipose tissue accumulation with left ventricular hypertrophy and the mediating role of insulin resistance: a cross-sectional study involving 1112 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus
Introduction:
Objective: Recent studies have underscored the metabolic and cardiovascular regulatory capacity of perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), implicating its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This investigation aims to assess the relationship between increased PAT mass and LVH, while also examining the potential mediating role of insulin resistance in this relationship among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
