While the health consequences and mechanisms by which visceral fat causes disease are well-studied, relatively less is known about ectopic fat, its patterns of deposition and its effects on the pathoetiology of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. Visceral and Ectopic Fat: Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes, Atherosclerosis, and Cardiovascular Disease covers the wealth of literature that has been amassed over the past decade on this topic. This reference brings all the research and clinical data together in one volume and helps clinicians and academic researchers understand more thoroughly the underlying mechanisms and interrelation between fat depots and ectopic fat stores in relation to health and disease. It showcases some of the recent developments in adipose tissue biology, particularly on the impact of interventional strategies - bariatric surgery, liposuction, physical and dietary intervention - of which information is desired among health specialists and policy makers.

Prof. dr. Hildo J. Lamb MD, PhD is Professor of Radiology and Director of Cardiovascular Imaging at Leiden University Medical Center, The Netherlands. His clinical focus is on cardiovascular radiology, thoracic radiology, mammography, and pediatric radiology. His main research focus is currently on diseases related to obesity and diabetes mellitus. He is actively involved in scientific research in the field of non-invasive cardiovascular and body imaging, focusing on development of cardiovascular imaging techniques with fast conversion to clinical application, including 3D imaging, fast acquisition techniques and MR spectroscopy. He is a member of the Dutch scientific council for medical specialists (FMS), board member of the Dutch council for healthcare evaluation program, Dutch representative in the UEMS (European Union of Medical Specialists) section Radiology and member of the scientific board of the ESR. He is deputy editor of cardiovascular imaging for JMRI and a member of the cardiovascular scientific program committee for RSNA.
