Relationship between epicardial fat and coronary microvascular dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMVD) is often suggested in patients with typical chest pain and abnormal stress test results that are indicative of myocardial ischaemia, in whom coronary angiography fails to show fixed stenosis inepicardial coronary arteries. The efficacy of pharmacologic treatment on clinical outcome remains to be determined. AIM To determine the relationship...
متن کاملThe relationship between epicardial fat thickness and gestational diabetes mellitus
AIM Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with cardiovascular diseases; however, the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and GDM remains unclear. The present study evaluates and compares EFT using transthoracic echocardiography in pregnant women with GDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study included 129 pregnant women in the third trimester: 65 with GD...
متن کاملMyocardial, Perivascular, and Epicardial Fat
Myocardial fat content refers to the storage of triglyceride droplets within cardiomyocytes. In addition, the heart and arteries are surrounded by layers of adipose tissue, exerting vasocrine and paracrine control of the subtending tissues. The rapid development of the field of noninvasive imaging has made it possible to quantify ectopic fat masses and contents with an increasing degree of accu...
متن کاملPeriatrial Epicardial Fat Is Associated with Markers of Endothelial Dysfunction in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation
BACKGROUND Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is associated to atrial fibrillation (AF) burden and outcome after AF ablation. We intended to determine whether global or local EAT is associated with systemic and/or left atrial (LA) inflammation and markers of endothelial dysfunction in AF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Total, atrial, and ventricular EAT volume (EAT total, EAT atrial, EAT ventricul...
متن کاملAssociation between endothelial dysfunction, epicardial fat and subclinical atherosclerosis during menopause.
BACKGROUND Menopausal transition is critical for the development of early, subclinical vascular damage. Multiple factors, such as atherosclerosis, increased epicardial fat, and endothelial dysfunction can play a role. Hence, the objective of this study was the comparison of epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima media thickness in order to establish the best predictor of carotid stiffness...
