Association Between Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Stroke [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is correlated with endothelial dysfunction, metabolic syndrome, increased mortality and recent studies showed a possible association with the increased risk of stroke. We performed a systematic review of studies evaluating the association between EAT and stroke.

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.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy. [PDF]
Biology (Basel)Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium, with an estimated prevalence of 1:5000 people in the general population. Sudden cardiac death is the first manifestation of this disease in 16–23% of patients with ACM.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015 The obesity epidemic has emerged as one of the most critical public health problems worldwide that is closely associated with the development of metabolic and cardiovascular disease.1 With increasing obesity, adipose tissue accumulates in multiple body compartments both within and surrounding internal organs with potential to negatively alter their ...

Aging Effects on Epicardial Adipose Tissue [PDF]
Frontiers in Aging, 2021 Epicardial fat is the visceral fat of the heart. Epicardial fat is a white adipose tissue, but it displays also brown-fat like or beige fat features. Under physiological conditions, epicardial fat has cardioprotective functions such as free fatty acids supply and thermoregulation of the adjacent myocardium.

Heart matters: How glucose- and lipid-modulating drugs remodel epicardial adipose tissue accumulation, inflammatory patterns and browning. [PDF]
Diabetes Obes MetabAbstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, exerting direct paracrine and vasocrine effects on the heart and coronary vessels. Under physiological conditions, EAT supports myocardial energy metabolism and thermoregulation through fatty acid supply and

Epicardial adipose tissue and atrial fibrillation [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2014 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF is often associated with profound functional and structural alterations of the atrial myocardium that compose its substrate. Recently, a relationship between the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and the incidence and severity of AF has been reported ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) often occurs after cardiac surgery and is associated with increased risk of stroke and mortality. Prior studies support the important role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF). It is known that an increased volume and a pro-inflammatory phenotype of epicardial adipose tissue (

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Renal Disease [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2019 Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is derived from splanchnic mesoderm, localized anatomically between the myocardium and pericardial visceral layer, and surrounds the coronary arteries. Being a metabolically active organ, EAT secretes numerous cytokines, which moderate cardiovascular morphology and function. Through its paracrine and vasocrine secretions,
