Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Evidence suggests that adipose tissue (AT) infiltration in skeletal muscles may negatively influence cardiac function, yet its use as a biomarker remains unclear. This scoping review examined the relationship between AT infiltration and cardiac function in adults. A systematic search of PubMed, CINAHL and SCOPUS identified peer-reviewed studies reporting AT infiltration and cardiac function measures. Excluded were review-type studies, animal studies, abstracts and case series. Study quality was assessed using the Study Quality Assessment Tool (SQAT). Three good-quality studies were included. Findings demonstrated a negative association between AT infiltration and cardiac function parameters, including exercise capacity, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and heart failure events, in cancer survivors and healthy individuals. There is evidence supporting an association between increased AT infiltration of skeletal muscles and impaired cardiac function, highlighting the need for further research to validate AT infiltration as a potential biomarker. Despite the limited available studies, our findings highlight a distinct association between skeletal muscle AT infiltration and cardiac dysfunction, independent of general obesity.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
