Inverse association of circulating SIRT1 and adiposity. A study on underweight, normal weight, and obese patients [PDF]
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.

The European Network for Translational Research in Atrial Fibrillation (EUTRAF): objectives and initial results. [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the general population. As an age-related arrhythmia AF is becoming a huge socio-economic burden for European healthcare systems. Despite significant progress in our understanding of the

Linking Epicardial Adipose Tissue to Atrial Remodeling: Clinical Implications of Strain Imaging
Atrial fibrillation is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia influenced by multifactorial mechanisms, including the emerging role of epicardial adipose tissue. Left atrial epicardial adipose tissue, through its endocrine and paracrine activities, contributes to

Pericardial rather than epicardial fat is a cardiometabolic risk marker: an MRI vs echo study [PDF]
Several studies using echocardiography identified epicardial adipose tissue (EPI) as an important cardiometabolic risk marker. However, validation compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography has not been performed.
