Increased amounts of fat in skeletal muscle [intermuscular fat], a marker of inflammation, is associated with an increased risk of major cardiovascular events. From an observational study of >600 participants with PET scans, followed for 6 years (a first) academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a… @ESC_Journals @VTaqMD

@VTaqMD led 📝 🔥 insights @ESC_Journals New research highlights the role of intermuscular fat (IMAT) in coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) and adverse cardiovascular events, independent of BMI. IMAT and CMD together define a novel at-risk cardiometabolic phenotype. academic.oup.com/eurheartj/a…
