Segmental peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue volume and coronary plaque characteristics [PDF]

European Heart Journal – Cardiovascular Imaging, 2015
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been proposed to modulate underlying coronary plaque features. The study aimed to determine the relation between segmental EAT (sEAT) volume, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and underlying coronary plaque characteristics, as estimated by multidetector computed tomography (CT) (MDCT).The study included ...

The Histopathological Correlate of Peri-Vascular Adipose Tissue Attenuation on Computed Tomography in Surgical Ascending Aorta Aneurysms: Is This a Measure of Tissue Inflammation?

Diagnostics, 2021
On computed tomography (CT) imaging, a peri-vascular adipose tissue attenuation (pVAT) measure has been proposed as a non-invasive correlate of inflammation in the coronary artery vessels, and a single research group provided histopathological ...

Peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue is related to cardiovascular risk factors and coronary artery calcification in post-menopausal women [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2008
To determine whether peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated with vascular risk factors and coronary atherosclerosis.In this study, 573 healthy post-menopausal women underwent a cardiac CT scan to assess coronary calcification.

Human epicardial adipose tissue has a specific transcriptomic signature depending on its anatomical peri-atrial, peri-ventricular, or peri-coronary location [PDF]

Cardiovascular Research, 2015
Human epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral and perivascular fat that has been shown to act locally on myocardium, atria, and coronary arteries. Its abundance has been linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) and atrial fibrillation. However, its physiological function remains highly debated. The aim of this study was to determine a specific EAT

Correlation between Peri-Coronary Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume, Cardiac Calcification and the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease by Multi Slice Computed Tomography

QJM: An International Journal of Medicine, 2021
ABSTRACT The authors in that article addressed a very important and relevant issue. Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a complex endocrine organ that plays an important role in the development of unfavorable metabolic and cardiovascular risk profile. EAT may express a variety

Prognostic value of peri-coronary adipose tissue attenuation and whole vessel and lesion plaque quantification on Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

European Heart Journal, 2020
Abstract Background Peri-coronary adipose tissue attenuation expressed by fat attenuation index (FAI) on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) reflects peri-coronary inflammation and is associated with cardiac mortality.
