Article Synopsis
- Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and peri-aortic fat (PAF) are linked to metabolic disorders and unfavorable cardiovascular events, influencing heart rate recovery after exercise.
- A study involving 156 participants assessed how regional visceral fat affects heart rate and blood pressure during exercise, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to quantify fat.
- Results indicated that higher EAT and PAF levels correlate with reduced heart rate recovery post-exercise and altered blood pressure, suggesting that excess visceral fat could impact autonomic function and contribute to cardiovascular issues.
