Decreased adiponectin and increased inflammation expression in epicardial adipose tissue in coronary artery disease [PDF]

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2011
Background Disorders of endocrine substances in epicardial adipose tissue are known causes of coronary artery disease (CAD). Adiponectin is associated with cardiovascular disease.

Cardio-Lipotoxicity of Epicardial Adipose Tissue

Biomolecules
Epicardial adipose tissue is a unique visceral adipose tissue depot that plays a crucial role in myocardial metabolism. Epicardial adipose tissue is a major source of energy and free fatty acids for the adjacent myocardium.

Epicardial adipose tissue: an overtly concealed contributor to cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease patients [PDF]

Lipids in Health and Disease
Epicardial adipose tissue, a metabolically active visceral fat depot surrounding the heart, is increasingly implicated as a key contributor to cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. This review explores how chronic kidney disease

Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]

Biology (Basel)
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium, with an estimated prevalence of 1:5000 people in the general population. Sudden cardiac death is the first manifestation of this disease in 16–23% of patients with ACM.

Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Triggering and Maintaining Atrial Fibrillation

Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications, 2022
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia leading to cardiogenic stroke. Without membranous sructure between epicardial adipose tissue and atrial myocardium, epicardial adipose tissue directly covers the surface of the atrial myocardium.

Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with cardiorespiratory fitness and hemodynamics among Japanese individuals of various ages and of both sexes.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Epicardial adipose tissue may affect hemodynamics and cardiorespiratory fitness as it is a metabolically active visceral adipose tissue and a source of inflammatory bioactive substances that can substantially modulate cardiovascular morphology and ...

Association Between Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Stroke [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is correlated with endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, increased mortality and recent studies showed a possible association with the increased risk of stroke. We performed a systematic review of studies evaluating the association between EAT and stroke.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2023
Diabetes is a long-term chronic disease, and cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), one of the cardiovascular complications of diabetes, has many uncertain factors. Epicardial fat, as the heart fat bank, functions as fatty tissue and is the heart’s endocrine organ.
