Epicardial adipose tissue volume is associated with impaired left atrial mechanics in hypertensive overweight/obese patients: the potential mediating role of insulin resistance
Increased EATV is independently associated with impaired LA mechanics in hypertensive overweight/obese patients. Insulin resistance, assessed by TyG-BMI, may partly explain these associations, linking epicardial adiposity to early atrial dysfunction.
