Epicardial and liver fat implications in albuminuria: a retrospective study

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Albuminuria is considered an early and sensitive marker of kidney dysfunction, but also an independent cardiovascular risk factor. Considering the possible relationship among metabolic liver disease, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney ...

Pericardial Fat and Echocardiographic Measures of Cardiac Abnormalities [PDF]

, 2013
Objective: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT), a regional fat depot adjacent to the myocardium, may mediate the complex relation between obesity and cardiac left ventricular (LV) abnormalities.

Characterisation of human adipose tissue : ceramide metabolism, depot differences and evaluation of dysfunctionality [PDF]

, 2016
Normal adipose tissue function is necessary for maintaining proper energy balance, as both excess and absence of this tissue lead to metabolic disturbances, such as insulin resistance.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Cardiac Arrhythmias

Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2022
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, including life-threatening ones. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is located deep under the visceral pericardium (epicardium) and is therefore in direct contact with the underlying myocardium.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and its Emerging Importance

Pakistan Journal of Medicine and Dentistry
It is an emerging concept now a day that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness has an essential character in the progression for cardiac risk profile. It is now consider as a new and consistent cardiovascular risk factor.

Epicardial Fat, Paracrine-mediated Inflammation and Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Interdisciplinary Medicine, 2017
Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent arrhythmia in adults, becoming more frequent with age. Recent clinical studies demonstrated that epicardial fat is linked with atrial fibrillation induction and recurrence. The arrhythmogenic mechanism consists in

Local adipose tissue depots as cardiovascular risk factors [PDF]

, 2017
Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although obesity-associated hypertension, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance account in part for this association, it becomes increasingly apparent that a systemic and local ...

Is there a utility for QRS dispersion in clinical practice? [PDF]

, 2017
Prognostic markers derived from standard ECG have always been seductive. Increased dispersion of durations of the P wave, of the QRS complex, or of the QT interval has been associated with the risk of atrial fibrillation, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden ...

Protective Effect of Eicosapentaenoic Acid on Insulin Resistance in Hyperlipidemic Patients and on the Postoperative Course of Cardiac Surgery Patients: The Possible Involvement of Adiponectin [PDF]

, 2014
Accumulated studies have shown that ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) have protective roles against inflammatory responses such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM) and cardiovascular diseases.

Disease–treatment interactions in the management of patients with obesity and diabetes who have atrial fibrillation: the potential mediating influence of epicardial adipose tissue

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
Both obesity and type 2 diabetes are important risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), possibly because they both cause an expansion of epicardial adipose tissue, which is the source of proinflammatory adipocytokines that can lead to microvascular ...
