Atherogenic index of plasma is associated with epicardial adipose tissue volume assessed on coronary computed tomography angiography

Scientific Reports, 2022
The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a novel biomarker of atherogenic dyslipidaemia (AD), but its relationship with cardiac adipose tissue depots is unknown.

Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Cardiovascular Diseases: A Review

Biology, 2022
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death worldwide. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is defined as a fat depot localized between the myocardial surface and the visceral layer of the pericardium and is a type of visceral fat.

Novel imaging biomarkers: epicardial adipose tissue evaluation [PDF]

, 2019
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically activated beige adipose tissue, non-homogeneously surrounding the myocardium. Physiologically, EAT regulates toxic fatty acids, protects the coronary arteries against mechanical strain, regulates ...

Semaglutide therapy decreases epicardial fat inflammation and improves psoriasis severity in patients affected by abdominal obesity and type-2 diabetes

Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2023
Psoriasis is often associated with abdominal obesity and type-2 diabetes (T2D). The inflammatory process in psoriasis can target adipose tissue depots, especially those surrounding the heart and coronary arteries, exposing to an increased risk of ...
