Epicardial adipose tissue in coronary microvascular disease. [PDF]

Am Heart J Plus
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and visceral pericardium, characterized by direct microvascular, paracrine, and vasocrine continuity with the heart. Under physiological conditions, EAT exhibits beige- and brown-fat-like features that support myocardial energy homeostasis ...

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.

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 ...

T regulatory lymphocytes and FoxP3 nuclear translocation in various adipose tissue depots in patients with coronary artery disease

Медицинская иммунология, 2023
T regulatory lymphocytes (Treg) are present is adipose tissue. Their frequency, as well as the level of FoxP3 nuclear translocation, in epicardial and thymus adipose tissue remains unexplored.

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.
