Intra-Pancreatic Fat Deposition Versus Hepatic Fat in Relation to Incident Heart Failure: A Prospective Cohort Analysis

Background

Although liver fat has been extensively studied, its independent contribution to heart failure (HF) remains debated. Moreover, whether fat stored in different visceral organs confers comparable cardiovascular risk remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the associations among intra-pancreatic fat deposition (IPFD), hepatic fat, and visceral adiposity and new-onset HF.
