Visceral Fat Area Evaluation by Computed Tomography Correlates with Visceral Fat Volume

Global Journal of Health Science, 2017
In Japan, the measurement of abdominal circumference is commonly used in diagnosis of visceral fat accumulation. It is also recommended that visceral fat at the umbilical level be measured using CT scans. If CT is used to measure the visceral fat area, we do not have to consider the possibility of measurement error due to subcutaneous fat.

Pathophysiologic Contributions of Visceral Adiposity to Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2023
Background: Visceral fat produces inflammatory cytokines and may play a major role in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, little data exist regarding how qualitative and quantitative abnormalities of visceral fat would ...
