Abstract
Background: Ectopic fat deposition in skeletal muscle, termed myosteatosis, is a key factor in insulin resistance and contributes to various metabolic disturbances. This study evaluated the association between myosteatosis, assessed via abdominal computed tomography, and cardiac function in an asymptomatic Korean population.
