Objective to compare the different adipose tissue (AT) compartments, muscle mass, muscle
fat infiltration, coronary calcium, as well as associations among changes in different AT …

Objective—Excess deposition of fat within and around vital organs and nonadipose tissues
is hypothesized to contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We evaluated the …

BACKGROUND: Coronary atherosclerosis has traditionally been proposed to be associated
with several cardiovascular risk factors and anthropometric measures. However, clinical …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), pericardial adipose tissue
(PAT), and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) are mediators of metabolic risk and may be …

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of excessive visceral adipose
tissue (VAT) on subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and coronary artery calcifications (CAC) …

Background and aims Excess weight is a widespread condition related to increased risk of
coronary heart disease (CHD). Sarcopenia is a catabolic pathway common of the aging …

Objective The present study aimed to explore the relationships between the distribution of
abdominal fat and muscle and age and gender in a middle-aged and elderly population …

Background: We sought to examine whether epicardial and abdominal visceral adipose
tissue distribution is associated with coronary atherosclerosis in patients with a coronary …

Background Aging is associated with central fat redistribution and skeletal muscle decline,
yet the relationships of tissue compartments with heart failure (HF) remain incompletely …

Background Aging leads to increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and reduced skeletal
muscle density. To which extent these are associated with the risk of stroke, myocardial …
