Until recently, measuring these features required a time-intensive manual analysis. Skeletal muscle is a major driver of metabolic health, influencing cardiovascular outcomes through multiple pathways, including glucose regulation, energy metabolism, and inflammatory responses, all of which influence cardiovascular health outcomes." Sebastian Ziegelmayer, M.D., lead researcher, associate professor and attending radiologist at Technical University of Munich The participants' cardiometabolic risk factors were collected as part of a prospective, multicenter...
