Expression of epicardial adipose tissue thermogenic genes in patients with reduced and preserved ejection fraction heart failure [PDF]

, 2017
[Abstract] Epicardial adipose tissue has been proposed to participate in the pathogenesis of heart failure. The aim of our study was to assess the expression of thermogenic genes (Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...

Pericardial rather than epicardial fat is a cardiometabolic risk marker: an MRI vs echo study [PDF]

, 2011
Several studies using echocardiography identified epicardial adipose tissue (EPI) as an important cardiometabolic risk marker. However, validation compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography has not been performed.

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 ...

Analysis of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Texture in Relation to Coronary Artery Calcification in PCCT: The EAT Signature!

Diagnostics
(1) Background: Epicardial adipose tissue influences cardiac biology in physiological and pathological terms. As it is suspected to be linked to coronary artery calcification, identifying improved methods of diagnostics for these patients is important ...

Effects of adipose tissues on the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and reduced heart rate variability: mediation analysis

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with decreased heart rate variability (HRV) with an unclear intermediate mechanism. This study aimed to conduct mediation analysis to explore the impact of various adipose tissues on the ...

Epicardial adipose tissue biology

, 2018
Apenas nas últimas décadas os estudos mostraram que o tecido adipose era mais do que um órgão capaz de armazenar gordura, como era considerado até então. O tecido adiposo epicardial (TAE) e um tipo específico de gordura que envolve cerca de 80% do coração.
