Key result
Arterial hypertension is linked to ~51% greater perinephric VAT area versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate ultrasound assessment of visceral adipose tissue across different localizations in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease, and to determine threshold values.
Does the amount and localization of visceral adipose tissue measured by ultrasound differ in patients with arterial hypertension or ischemic heart disease compared to healthy controls?
Cross-Sectional (n=121)
No
Does the amount and localization of visceral adipose tissue measured by ultrasound differ in patients with arterial hypertension or ischemic heart disease compared to healthy controls?
Ultrasound assessment reveals specific patterns of visceral fat deposition, with perirenal fat increased in arterial hypertension and epicardial/pericardial fat increased in ischemic heart disease.

Бондаренко et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease (n=121). Arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease vs. Healthy individuals without cardiovascular disease was evaluated on Area of the lower part of the perinephric visceral adipose tissue on the right side (AH vs controls) (p=<0.001). Patients with arterial hypertension had significantly increased perinephral visceral adipose tissue area (27.06 vs 17.87 cm2, p<0.001) compared to healthy controls.
