Visceral Obesity, but not Central Obesity, is associated with Cardiac Remodeling in Subjects with Suspected Metabolic Syndrome

We investigated whether visceral obesity induces cardiac structural and functional remodeling independently from central obesity and other risk factors in subjects with suspected MetS.
