Fat Cells Linked to Heart Failure Outcomes by Anjanee Sharma on February 24, 2021 at 6:12 PM
Researchers find that curbing the amount of fat released by the body from fat cells into the bloodstream during heart failure can improve patient outcomes.
Jason Dyck, who led the research, found that treating heart failure in mice using a drug that blocks fat cells from releasing fat into the bloodstream leads to less inflammation in the heart and body, along with better outcomes than in the control group.
Dyck says, Many people believe that, by definition, heart failure is only a condition of the heart. But it s much broader, and multiple organs are affected by it.
