| Abstract | Background The differences in fat deposition sites exhibit varying degrees of systemic inflammatory responses and organ damage, especially in obese individuals with excessive visceral fat. Visceral fat, which is closely related to an increase in mortality rates related to heart and liver diseases. However, few studies have analysed the differences in heart and liver indicators and their correlation among groups based on the abdominal visceral fat area (AVFA). Objective Clarifying the differences in and correlations of heart and liver indicators among groups with different severities of AVFA by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods Sixty-nine subjects with obesity were enrolled. The study group consisted of forty-one individuals (AVFA ≥ 150 cm2), and the control group consisted of twenty-eight individuals (100 cm2 ≤ AVFA < 150 cm2). The differences in and correlations between clinical, laboratory, and MRI indicators of the heart and liver between the two groups were analysed. Results In the study group, the incidences of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and insulin resistance were higher, and liver function indicators were worse. The left ventricular eccentricity ratio (LVER), left ventricular mass (LVM) and global peak wall thickness (GPWT) were higher in the study group than in the control group (P = 0.002, P = 0.001, P = 0.03), and the left ventricle global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) was lower in the study group than in the control group (P = 0.016). The pericardiac adipose tissue volume (PATV) and myocardial proton density fat fraction (M-PDFF) were higher in the study group than in the control group (P = 0.001, P = 0.001). The hepatic proton density fat fraction (H-PDFF) and abdominal subcutaneous fat area (ASFA) were higher in the study group than in the control group (P < 0.001, P = 0.012). There was a moderate positive correlation (ρ = 0.39–0.59, P < 0.001) between the AVFA and LVER, LVM, GPWT, LVGLS, and H-PDFF. There was no difference in right ventricular and most left ventricular systolic and diastolic function between the two groups. Conclusion The high AVFA group had a larger LVM, GPWT and PATV, more obvious changes in LVER, impaired left ventricular diastolic function, an increased risk of heart disease, and more severe hepatic fat deposition and liver injury. Therefore, there is a correlation between the amount of visceral adipose tissue and subclinical cardiac changes and liver injury. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
