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) …

OBJECTIVE: It is unclear whether visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is responsible for an
increased risk of coronary artery calcification (CAC). We evaluated the associations between …

Background Although obesity differs according to ethnicity, it is globally established as a
solid risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, it is not fully understood how obesity …

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

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) improves cardiovascular event prediction.
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a cardiometabolic risk factor that may directly or through its …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume
predicts the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in the general …

The inverse relationship between obesity and adverse cardiovascular outcomes has been
coined the 'obesity-paradox'. We sought to determine the relationship between measures of …

Coronary artery disease (CAD), a leading cause of death in type 1 diabetes (T1D), often
occurs two or more decades earlier in this population compared to the population without …

Background Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is associated with cardiac events, but it is not
clear which, if any of the various measures of VAT independently correlate with coronary …

Aims Type 1 diabetic patients (T1DM) experience a higher cardiovascular disease and
mortality risk than controls. We investigated whether visceral adipose tissue (VAT) …
