Increased intermuscular fat is linked to coronary microvascular dysfunction and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, regardless of BMI, as highlighted in a study published in the European Heart Journal.
Intermuscular fat infiltration is associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and adverse cardiovascular outcomes independently of BMI.
Every 1% increase in thoracic fatty muscle fraction conferred an independent 2% increased odds of CMD and a 7% increased risk of major adverse cardiovascular events.
The presence of both CMD and IMAT identified a novel at-risk cardiometabolic phenotype prevalent in patients with INOCA.
Obesity-related cardiovascular risk is not well-captured by BMI alone.
Traditional measures of visceral adiposity may not fully identify cardiometabolic risk.
