The correlation between epicardial adipose tissue thickness and left ventricular systolic function in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineBackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause myocardial damage and left ventricular dysfunction in patients. Abnormal deposition of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) can promote the occurrence and development of cardiovascular diseases.

Intracardiac Thrombus in Community-Acquired Klebsiella pneumonia – An Unprecedented Complication
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging, 2022 Left ventricular thrombi commonly occur in the presence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Their occurrence in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function is extremely rare. Here we present a case of a diabetic lady with community
