Impact of visceral fat on coronary artery disease as defined by quantitative computed tomography angiography

CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate progression with regard to VF and TPV, NCP volume, and LD-NCP volume. Notably, there was a progression of VF and amount of LD-NCP, which is known to be high risk for future cardiovascular events. A consistent progression may indicate the future utility of VF in CVD risk stratification.PMID:37559558 | DOI:10.1002/oby.23804
