Standardized MRI-Based Quantification of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume: Reproducibility and Agreement With Cardiac Computed Tomography. [PDF]

J Magn Reson Imaging
ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) is increasingly recognized as a cardiometabolic risk marker associated with adverse outcomes. The most established approach for EATV quantification is cardiac computed tomography (CT). MRI offers a radiation‐free alternative allowing simultaneous assessment of myocardial function and tissue ...

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.

Recent Progress in Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissue Segmentation and Quantification Based on Deep Learning: A Systematic Review

Applied Sciences, 2022
Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissues (EAT and PAT), which are located around the heart, have been linked to coronary atherosclerosis, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and other cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, the volume and thickness

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.

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 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,

Opposite relations of epicardial adipose tissue to left atrial size in paroxysmal and permanent atrial fibrillation

SAGE Open Medicine, 2018
Objectives: Atrial fibrillation has been associated with obesity in epidemiological studies. Epicardial adipose tissue is an ectopic fat depot in the proximity of atria, with endocrine and inflammatory properties that is implicated in the pathophysiology

Association between non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and epicardial adipose tissue volume with cardiometabolic risk in coronary heart disease

Egyptian Liver Journal, 2022
Background Regional adiposity has a significant impact on the formation of adverse metabolic and cardiovascular risk profiles. While much of the attention was directed to the importance of intra-abdominal adipose tissue, there were several new ...

Effect of Epicardial Adipose Tissue on In-stent Restenosis after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: a Review [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2023
As a major treatment for coronary artery disease, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) effectively enhances the survival rate of patients. However, the post-PCI in-stent restenosis has become a new cardiovascular problem that is difficult to solve ...

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

Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2015
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.
