Discovery of the day
This multilevel meta-regression analysis demonstrates that reductions in body mass index (BMI) are associated with quantitative decreases in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) across diverse pharmacological and lifestyle interventions. Researchers synthesized data from multiple clinical trials to establish a dose-response relationship between the magnitude of BMI reduction and the corresponding change in EAT volume and thickness. For a diabetologist managing the high cardiovascular risk profile common in patients with diabetes, these findings provide an evidence-based rationale for selecting and combining interventions that simultaneously target weight reduction and EAT depletion to mitigate cardiac complications.
