Epicardial adipose tissue as a mediator of cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2022
Obesity is associated with higher risks of cardiac arrhythmias. Although this may be partly explained by concurrent cardiometabolic ill-health, growing evidence suggests that increasing adiposity independently confers risk for arrhythmias. Among fat depots, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) exhibits a proinflammatory secretome and, given the lack of ...

Epicardial adipose tissue and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with acute pulmonary embolism

Journal of Education, Health and Sport, 2019
Epicardial adipose tissue has been linked with increased cardiovascular morbidity. Its correlation with right ventriclar morphology and physiology is a recent concept. The aim of the study was to analyze severity of right ventricular dysfunction in the

Epicardial adipose tissue thickness in patients with urolithiasis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology, 2020
Aim: We aimed to assess the relationship between urinary stone disease which is accepted as a component of metabolic syndrome and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness. Methods: The study included 45 patients and 39 healthy controls. EAT thickness was measured by echocardiography in all subjects. Results: EAT thickness was higher (5.77±0.88 vs. 3.

Effect of Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness on Success Rates of Premature Ventricular Contraction Ablation

Balkan Medical Journal, 2019
Background: Idiopathic premature ventricular contractions are frequently detected ventricular arrhythmias, and radiofrequency ablation is an effectively treatment for improving symptoms and eliminating premature ventricular contractions.

Osteocalcin and epicardial adipose tissue in obesity: new hints for epicardial adipose tissue–bone crosstalk

Scandinavian Cardiovascular Journal, 2019
Objectives: Osteocalcin (OC) appears to be involved in the regulation of glucose and fat metabolism. We aimed to determine the association between OC and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in premenopausal obese women. Design: The study included 73 premenopausal obese women and 55 non-obese women. Echocardiographic examination was performed to measure EAT.

Clinical importance of epicardial adipose tissue

Archives of Medical Science, 2017
Different visceral fat compartments have several systemic effects and may play a role in the development of both insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. In the last couple of years special attention has been paid to the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which can be quantified by non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques.
