The heart has the greatest energy requirement of any organ in the body, and up to 90% of this energy comes from free fatty acids released by adipocytes. Thus, adipose tissue biology is intricately linked to cardiovascular health, and the growing obesity epidemic increases the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors for hypertension, atherosclerosis, and myocardial infarction. This symposium will explore novel therapeutic approaches and mechanisms of cross-talk between adipose tissue and the cardiovascular system that mediate metabolic homeostasis and pathophysiological processes.
