Glial cells in the heart: Implications for their roles in health and disease

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic representation of cardiac autonomic ganglia within epicardial fat pads (posterior heart surface shown), containing vagal postganglionic neuron cell bodies, associated fibres, and glia. These ganglia receive cholinergic input from vagal preganglionic neurons and adrenergic input from sympathetic postganglionic neurons ...

Fifteen new risk loci for coronary artery disease highlight arterial-wall-specific mechanisms [PDF]

, 2017
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although 58 genomic regions have been associated with CAD thus far, most of the heritability is unexplained, indicating that additional susceptibility loci await ...

Cellular and molecular cross‐talk in atrial fibrillation: The role of non‐cardiomyocytes in creating an arrhythmogenic substrate

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Illustration of cellular and molecular cross‐talk in atrial fibrillation. Left: a schematic of cardiac tissue showing cardiomyocytes, fibroblasts, adipocytes, inflammatory cells and the coagulation system. Right: direct and indirect cross‐talk between different cell types, with the impact of direct cross‐talk on action potential (

The placenta, maternal diet and adipose tissue development in the newborn [PDF]

, 2017
Background: A majority of adipose tissue present in the newborn possess the unique mitochondrial protein, uncoupling protein (UCP1). It is thus highly metabolically active and capable of producing 300 times more heat per unit mass than any other organ in

Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical

Epicardial adipose tissue and coronary artery disease: an article review [PDF]

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2014
Adipose tissue surrounding the heart may contribute in the progression of coronary atherosclerosis due to its proximity to the coronary arteries. In addition, epicardial adipose tissue has paracrine and endocrine functions.

Evaluation of the relationship between erectile dysfunction and epicardial fat tissue thickness and carotid intima-media thickness in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2020
Objective: This study is an investigation of the relationship between erectile dysfunction and epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima-media thickness, which are indicators of endothelial dysfunction and subclinical atherosclerosis, in patients with

Coronary age, based on coronary calcium measurement, is increased in patients with morbid obesity [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known of risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, recently an "obesity paradox" has been discussed, which is considered as a protective effect of obesity on the development coronary artery disease (CAD).

Targeting Adipose Tissue Function Protects Against Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.
This study explores the role adipose tissue (AT) phenotypes have in determining cardiovascular outcomes in an obesity‐related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) model. Pharmacological induction of thermogenesis promoted resilience to HFpEF‐induced remodeling of AT and conferred cardioprotection. Surgical and genetic models confirmed
