Perivascular adipose tissue as a relevant fat depot for cardiovascular risk in obesity [PDF]
, 2018 Obesity is associated with increased risk of premature death, morbidity, and mortality from several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), including stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), myocardial infarction, and congestive heart failure.

Circulating SIRT1 inversely correlates with epicardial fat thickness in patients with obesity [PDF]
, 2016 Background and aim: Obesity is increasing worldwide and is related to undesirable cardiovascular outcomes. Epicardial fat (EF), the heart visceral fat depot, increases with obesity and correlates with cardiovascular risk.

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 ...

Ectopic cardiovascular fat in middle-aged men: effects of race/ethnicity, overall and central adiposity. The ERA JUMP study. [PDF]
, 2015 Background/objectivesHigher volumes of ectopic cardiovascular fat (ECF) are associated with greater risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Identifying factors that are associated with ECF volumes may lead to new preventive efforts to reduce risk of CHD ...

Inverse association of circulating SIRT1 and adiposity. A study on underweight, normal weight, and obese patients [PDF]
, 2018 Context: Sirtuins (SIRTs) are NAD+-dependent deacetylases, cellular sensors to detect energy availability, and modulate metabolic processes. SIRT1, the most studied family member, influences a number of tissues including adipose tissue.

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.

Human epicardial adipose tissue expresses a pathogenic profile of adipocytokines in patients with cardiovascular disease [PDF]
, 2006 Introduction: Inflammation contributes to cardiovascular disease and is exacerbated with increased adiposity, particularly omental adiposity; however, the role of epicardial fat is poorly understood.
