Visceral obesity is a reversible factor in pathogenesis of major cardiovascular diseases

The authors present data on visceral obesity and associated metabolic disorders, as well as its impact on prognosis of cardiovascular diseases and their complications. The role of bioimpedance method in quantitative determination of visceral adipose tissue is shown. The authors emphasize the role of reversibility of heart changes in obesity and importance of reducing excess visceral adipose tissue in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases associated with obesity.
