How can patients cut cardiac adiposity?
Prescribing endurance or resistance training to overweight patients could help reduce their CVD risk through reduced cardiac adipose tissue, a small Danish study suggests.
After 12 weeks of training, MRI scans of the 39 participants revealed those undertaking endurance exercise had 32% (9g) less epicardial fat than no-exercise controls while those performing resistance exercises had 24% (8g) less of this fat.
