Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Cardiovascular Disease
2019Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, despite the evolution of treatments and revascularization strategies. Obesity, also accompanied by a chronic inflammatory process, is an independent risk factor for CVD. Abdominal adipose tissue is a complex, metabolically very active organ capable of

Clinical Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue
Canadian Journal of CardiologyAlthough the epidemic of atherosclerosis has slowed down in industrialized nations, it has increased in speed and severity in developing countries. The worldwide expanding incidence and prevalence of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes mellitus may be among the most important drivers of this trend, and the role of visceral adipose tissue as a ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness in Hemodialysis Patients
Echocardiography, 2013AimHemodialysis (HD) patients had higher cardiovascular mortality and it is related to atherosclerosis. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness is a marker of atherosclerosis and independent predictor of coronary artery disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between EAT and carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) predictors of ...

The roles of epicardial adipose tissue in heart failure
Heart Failure Reviews, 2020Heart failure is a growing health problem resulting in the decreased life expectancy of patients and severely increased the healthcare burden. Penetrating research on the pathogenesis and regulation mechanism of heart failure is important for treatment of heart failure.

Targeting the Epicardial Adipose Tissue
2020Epicardial fat (EAT) is the visceral fat depot of the heart. Given its rapid metabolism, organ fat specificity, and simple objective measurability, epicardial fat can serve as a target for pharmaceutical agents targeting the adipose tissue. EAT has shown to significantly respond to thiazolidinediones (TZD), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue: New Kid on the Block
Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports, 2014Over the last 2 decades, understanding of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) significantly changed from an innocent bystander, protecting the coronary arteries from physical damage, to an inflammatory active endocrine organ that may influence development of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries.

Anatomy of the Epicardial Adipose Tissue
2020Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is the fat depot located between the myocardium and the epicardium including the surroundings of the epicardial coronary vessels while the pericardial fat is located externally. Epicardial and intra-abdominal fat both evolve from brown adipose tissue.

Role of epicardial adipose tissue in cardiac remodeling
Diabetes Research and Clinical PracticeEpicardial adipose tissue, or epicardial fat, is a type of visceral fat located between the heart and the pericardium. Due to its anatomical proximity to the heart, EAT plays a significant role in both cardiac physiology and pathologies, including cardiac remodeling and cardiovascular diseases (CVD).

Epicardial adipose tissue in endocrine and metabolic diseases
Endocrine, 2013Epicardial adipose tissue has recently emerged as new risk factor and active player in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Albeit its physiological and pathological roles are not completely understood, a body of evidence indicates that epicardial adipose tissue is a fat depot with peculiar and unique features.
