Association of epicardial adipose tissue thickness by echocardiography and hypertension.
OBJECTIVES Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a component of visceral adiposity with endocrine and paracrine effects. It is also associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). In this study, we investigated the relationship between EAT thickness and hypertension that is a component of MetS. STUDY DESIGN Enrolled in this study were 140 hypertensive patients and 60 age- and sex-similar normotensive...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue thickness and its association with adiponectin in metabolic syndrome patients from Mérida, Venezuela.
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and plasma levels of adiponectin in Venezuelan patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Thirty-one patients diagnosed with metabolic syndrome (study group) and 27 controls were selected and tested for glycemia, lipids, and adiponectin. EAT thickness, ejection fraction, diastolic function, left ventricular mass (LVM), ...
متن کاملThe Association between Subclinical Hypothyroidism and Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is considered to be a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness is also closely related to cardiovascular disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether SH is associated with higher EAT thickness. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty-one consecutive patients with SH and 51 healthy contr...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine in patients with metabolic syndrome and normal coronary arteries
BACKGROUND Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine levels are associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and coronary artery disease. The majority of patients with MS have subclinical or manifest coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between MS and plasma homocysteine levels and epicardial adipose tissue thickness in subjects ...
متن کاملRelationship between epicardial adipose tissue thickness and vitamin D in patients with metabolic syndrome.
INTRODUCTION Metabolic syndrome is a systemic disorder and manifests as a group of conditions including abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension and coronary artery disease. The importance of epicardial adipose tissue has been proven through recognition of its contribution to inflammation by pro-inflammatory cytokine discharge. Several investigations have been performed on vitamin D recept...
