Cardiac magnetic resonance quantification of epicardial adipose tissue identifies subclinical cardiac dysfunction in asymptomatic obesity: A multicenter cross‐sectional study

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is implicated in obesity‐related heart failure, yet its association with subclinical cardiac dysfunction in asymptomatic obese individuals remains unclear. This prospective multicenter study used cardiac magnetic resonance to quantify EAT volume and assess cardiac morphology and systolic/diastolic function in 87 ...

Abstract Decolonial theory (DT) has been advanced as a strategy for decolonisation alternative to 20th‐century anticolonialism, positioning decolonisation as an epistemic project rather than a historical‐material one. Here, I examine DT's arguments about anticolonialism: that it had a dogmatic bias towards nationalism and postcolonial state formation ...
