The association between ectopic fat in the pancreas and subclinical atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes

Highlights • The pancreatic attenuations was correlated with visceral fat and vascular stiffness. • Non-obese patients with pancreatic steatosis had increased risk for atherosclerosis. • In the obese group, pancreatic steatosis was not associated with atherosclerosis. • Our finding highlights the im...

Description
Summary:Highlights • The pancreatic attenuations was correlated with visceral fat and vascular stiffness. • Non-obese patients with pancreatic steatosis had increased risk for atherosclerosis. • In the obese group, pancreatic steatosis was not associated with atherosclerosis. • Our finding highlights the importance of pancreatic fat related to higher risk of CVD.
