Quantification of epicardial fat volume using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background A growing body of data has demonstrated a direct relationship between epicardial fat volume(EFV) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, EFV has been shown to be an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation. Currently, there is no standard protocol for assessing EFV using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Quantification of peri-ventricular EFV ut...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue volume by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging predicts abnormal myocardial relaxation in patients with atrial fibrillation
Background Inflammation may be a key trigger in the accumulation of extracellular matrix that leads to fibrosis, abnormal myocardial relaxation, diastolic dysfunction and eventual heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active organ releasing various adipokines and inflammatory mediators which may promote fibrosis in adjacent ...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue volume is independently associated with aortic root size as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), located between the myo-epicardium and the visceral pericardium, is a metabolically active organ and secretes pro-inflammatory, fibrotic and atherogenic adipokines. The absence of a fascial layer between EAT and aortic adventitia may allow the EAT secretome to alter aortic extracellular matrix promoting aortic root dilatation. Aortic root size has bee...
متن کاملCardiac and Hepatic T2*-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Abstract Background Iron overload is the main transfusion related side effects in patients with transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathies. Severe iron deposition in tissues leads to organ dysfunction. Many organs can be affected such as heart, liver, and endocrine organs. Cardiac failure and liver fibrosis are the consequent of Iron overload in transfusion dependent hemoglobinopathy. Magne...
