Association of familial Mediterranean fever and epicardial adipose tissue: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Health Science Reports, 2022
Background and Aim Some studies reported a positive link between familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and epicardial adipose tissue. Our meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate whether there is a significant association between FMF and increased epicardial adipose

Impact of Dapagliflozin on MRI‐Derived Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Secondary Imaging Analysis of a Randomized Trial

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active fat depot associated with cardiovascular risk and represents a modifiable imaging biomarker. Studies have shown that sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce EAT thickness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, it is unclear whether this is

Periodontitis and its association with left ventricular geometry and function: A cross‐sectional study

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study investigated the cross‐sectional association between periodontal status and left ventricular (LV) geometry and function, an early and prognostically relevant marker of cardiovascular disease. Methods Data were drawn from two population‐based cohorts in the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP): SHIP‐START‐2 (N = 2333) and ...

Association of Region‐Specific Cardiac Adiposity With Dysglycemia and New‐Onset Diabetes

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Visceral adipose tissue is assumed to be an important indicator for insulin resistance and diabetes beyond overweight/obesity. We hypothesized that region‐specific visceral adipose tissue may regulate differential biological effects for new ...

SGLT2 Inhibitors and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Fabry Disease: Observations From a Federated Research Network

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Fabry disease (FD) is frequently complicated by renal impairment and cardiovascular events; however, evidence on sodium–glucose cotransporter‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in this population is scarce. Accordingly, we assessed the association between SGLT2i exposure and cardiovascular outcomes in adults with FD. Methods We conducted

The Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Heart Disease

Physiological Research, 2016
Recent studies focused on epicardial fat, formerly relatively neglected component of the heart, have elucidated some of its key roles. It possesses several properties that can distinguish it from other adipose tissue depots. Its unique anatomical location in the heart predisposes the epicardial fat to be an important player in the physiological and ...

UltRaSoUnd‐guided evaLuAtion of metabolic health in a cohort of midlife women with HIV: The URSULA study

HIV Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives We aimed to determine the prevalence of metabolic disorders, liver steatosis and metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in a cohort of middle‐aged women with HIV (WoWH) and to explore associations between liver steatosis, visceral fat depots and carotid atherosclerosis.
