Visceral adiposity and systemic insulin resistance are independently associated with decreased myocardial glucose uptake in asymptomatic individuals, particularly those with type 2 diabetes.
Kim et al. (2015) conducted a cross-sectional in Normal glucose tolerance, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes (n=346). Visceral adiposity vs. Lower visceral adiposity was evaluated on Myocardial glucose uptake (SUVHeart/SUVLiver) (β = -0.22, p=0.018). Visceral adiposity was independently associated with decreased myocardial glucose uptake (β = -0.22) measured by 18FDG-PET in asymptomatic adults across varying stages of glucose tolerance.
