Carl Fredholm is a PhD candidate at Linköping University, specializing in the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to study ectopic fat infiltration and fibrosis, particularly in relation to the structural and functional alterations of the heart. His research focuses on ectopic fat fibrosis, which is a pathological process where fat accumulates in tissues not typically suited for fat storage. This accumulation is often linked to common conditions such as type 2 diabetes and obesity, and it has been associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Fredholm’s work aims to investigate the distribution and amount of ectopic fat and fibrosis in individuals with type 2 diabetes, utilizing advanced imaging techniques to quantify them at anatomical sites. His PhD thesis seeks to further understand how these processes relate to adverse cardiac remodeling, taking into account conditions like metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.
