When My Heart Rebelled for Two Minutes—and My AICD Decided to Stay Employed Some people collect souvenirs when they travel. I collect medical printouts. One routine cardiology visit handed me a neat little report, the kind that looks boring until you realize it’s basically a receipt for a moment your body tried to freestyle without permission. If you live with sarcoidosi...

Visceral Fat Raises Heart Failure Risk Independently of BMI New research presented at the American Heart Association's EPI|Lifestyle Scientific Sessions 2026 highlights the link between belly fat, also known as visceral fat, and the risk of heart failure, even in individuals with a normal body mass index (BMI). The study, conducted using data from 1,998 African American adults in the Jackson Heart Study, found that waist circumference and waist-to-height ratio were more strongly associated with heart failure risk than overall body weight. Over a median follow-up period of 6.9 years, 112 participants developed heart failure, and those with higher inflammation levels were more likely to be affected. Inflammation appears to mediate roughly 25–33% of the connection between central adiposity and heart failure. Experts suggest that monitoring waist size and inflammation markers could help clinicians identify at-risk individuals earlier, enabling preventive strategies before symptoms emerge. While BMI has traditionally been used to assess obesity-related risks, these findings indicate that where fat is stored in the body is a more critical factor for heart health. Future research will explore the impact of reducing inflammation and targeting visceral fat on preventing specific types of heart failure.
