Cardiac adipose tissue may flag higher CVD risk in T2D; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before clinical use.
Does high cardiac adipose tissue increase the risk of incident cardiovascular disease and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and elevated urinary albumin excretion rate?
High cardiac adipose tissue is associated with an increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes patients with elevated urinary albumin excretion rate, independent of traditional risk factors.
