Anatomy of the Epicardial Adipose Tissue

, 2020
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is the fat depot located between the myocardium and the epicardium including the surroundings of the epicardial coronary vessels while the pericardial fat is located externally.

Epicardial atrial mapping during minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery

, 2018
Mapping of the unorganized activation patterns of atrial fibrillation requires a high-resolution mapping approach to diagnose substrate-mediated pathophysiological mechanisms.

Endo-/Epicardial Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

, 2018
Background: Until today, catheter interventional mapping and ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been limited to the right and left atrial endocardium.

Prolonged repolarization in the early phase of ischemia is associated with ventricular fibrillation development in a porcine model

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Background: Repolarization prolongation can be the earliest electrophysiological change in ischemia, but its role in arrhythmogenesis is unclear. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the early ischemic action potential duration (APD) prolongation

Noninvasive identification of epicardial ventricular tachycardia substrate by magnetic resonance-based signal intensity mapping

, 2014
[EN]Endo-epicardial substrate ablation reduces ventricular tachycardia (VT) recurrences; however, not all patients in whom the epicardium is explored have a VT substrate.

Percutaneous Catheter Ablation of Epicardial Accessory Pathways [PDF]

, 2017
Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the treatment of choice in patients with accessory pathways (APs) and Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome. Endocardial catheter ablation has limitations, including the inability to map and ablate intramural or ...

In-vivo Sino-Atrial Node Mapping in Children and Adults With Congenital Heart Disease

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
Background:Sinus node dysfunction (SND) and atrial tachyarrhythmias frequently co-exist in the aging patient with congenital heart disease (CHD), even after surgical correction early in life.

Epicardial Ventricular Tachycardia Ablation: A Contemporary Review of Indications, Techniques, and Practical Approaches for Challenging Substrates

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Epicardial ablation is an increasingly important treatment for refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT), particularly in nonischemic cardiomyopathy or when the substrate is epicardial or mid-myocardial.

Targeting the Epicardial Adipose Tissue

, 2020
Epicardial fat (EAT) is the visceral fat depot of the heart. Given its rapid metabolism, organ fat specificity, and simple objective measurability, epicardial fat can serve as a target for pharmaceutical agents targeting the adipose tissue. EAT has shown
