Research Progress of Different Fat Pools and Atherosclerosis

超重和肥胖是指人体脂肪堆积过多和/或分布异常，已被充分证实是冠状动脉粥样硬化、高血压、心力衰竭等心血管疾病的独立危险因素。相较于脂肪组织的总体含量，脂肪组织的异位分布情况与疾病的发生发展关系更为密切。在这篇综述中，我们重点关注不同脂肪库在心脏代谢和血管风险中的作用和临床意义。Overweight and obesity refer to excessive accumulation and/or abnormal distribution of body fat, which has been fully proven to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension and heart failure. Compared with the total content of adipose tissue, the ectopic distribution of adipose tissue is more closely related to the occurrence and development of disease. In this review, we focus on the role and clinical significance of different fat pools in cardiometabolic and vascular risk.
