A new study says that fat can start accumulating on and around the heart before someone is actually diagnosed as a diabetic. For future pre-emptive testing purposes, this finding may be able to play a significant role in finding pre-diabetic patients and steering them into lifestyles to ward off the full onset of the disease.
But, doesn't fatty heart buildup happen in some people that may never develop diabetes? Sure, but at least a genuine marker may be used to warn people about the possible development of diabetes regardless.
Current MRI technology makes a static image of a beating and in-motion heart very hard, and it's just that image that medical professionals need to search for fatty deposits in a non-invasive way. However, the heart was "electronically frozen" using newer techniques, where physicians were able to view it at rest --- when it had never really been in that state.
