Association of Region-Specific Cardiac Adiposity With Dysglycemia and New-Onset Diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Background Visceral adipose tissue is assumed to be an important indicator for insulin resistance and diabetes beyond overweight/obesity. We hypothesized that region-specific visceral adipose tissue may regulate differential biological effects for new-onset diabetes regardless of overall obesity. Methods and Results We quantified various visceral adipose tissue measures, including epicardial adipose tissue, paracardial adipose tissue, interatrial fat, periaortic fat, and thoracic aortic adipose tissue in 1039 consecutive asymptomatic participants who underwent multidetector computed tomography. We explored the associations of visceral adipose tissue with baseline dysglycemic indices and new-onset diabetes. Epicardial adipose tissue, paracardial adipose tissue, interatrial fat, periaortic f
