Insulin resistance aggravates myocardial fibrosis in non-diabetic hypertensive patients by altering the function of epicardial adipose tissue: a cardiac magnetic resonance study
IR in non-diabetic individuals at an early stage may change the physiological function of EAT and lead to the onset of myocardial fibrosis. Addressing IR early on could potentially improve the physiological function of EAT.
