Hypertriglyceridemic Waist: A Simple Marker of High‐Risk Atherosclerosis Features Associated With Excess Visceral Adiposity/Ectopic Fat

Subclinical atherosclerosis identification remains challenging; abdominal visceral adiposity may improve risk stratification beyond traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Hypertriglyceridemic waist, a visceral adiposity marker combining elevated triglycerides (≥2 mmol/L) and waist circumference (≥90 cm), has been related to carotid atherosclerosis, although associations with high-risk features, including lipid-rich necrotic core (LRNC), remain...
