The relationship between muscle strength and epicardial fat in healthy adults

Implementation of HGS measurement may be useful for the identification of subjects with excessive epicardial fat and cardiovascular risk. Measurement of epicardial fat could be helpful in the early detection of physical decline associated to ageing.PMID:38692441 | DOI:10.1016/j.exger.2024.112447
