Heart Fat Associated With Higher Risk of Heart Disease in Postmenopausal Women
Highlights:
- Postmenopausal women are at high risk for heart disease due to a greater volume of a type of fat that surrounds the heart.
- The two types of fat that surround the heart are epicardial fat and paracardial fat.
- Paracardial fat, found outside the pericardium increases the risk of heart disease in postmenopausal women.
‘Higher volume of a type of fat that surrounds the heart called as �paracardial fat� increases the risk of heart disease and lowers hormone levels in postmenopausal women.’
