Echocardiographic Assessment of Epicardial Adipose Tissue - A Marker of Visceral Adiposity
Visceral adipose tissue predicts an unfavorable cardiovascular and metabolic risk profile in humans. Existing methods to assess visceral adipose tissue have been limited. Thus, echocardiographic assessment of epicardial adipose tissue as a marker of visceral adiposity was suggested. The technique has been shown to be a very reliable method and an excellent measure of visceral adiposity. In this...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue as a New Indicator of Cardiovascular Risk
Abstract Background and Purpose: Epicardial fat is the true visceral fat located around the heart, particularly around sub-epicardial coronary arteries that may locally interact and modulate the coronary arteries and myocardium through paracrine or vasocrine secretion of anti-inflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. Most previous studies have used echocardiography and reported controversia...

متن کاملDoes Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness become a Useful Biomarker?
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is ectopic visceral fat surrounding the heart that is located close to the coronary arteries. Excessive EAT has been reported to be associated with known cardiovascular risk factors 1, 2). Moreover, several investigators have shown that quantity of EAT can be a marker for the presence and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) 3-6). Computed tomography and Mag...
متن کاملVisceral Adiposity Index: An Indicator of Adipose Tissue Dysfunction
The Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI) has recently proven to be an indicator of adipose distribution and function that indirectly expresses cardiometabolic risk. In addition, VAI has been proposed as a useful tool for early detection of a condition of cardiometabolic risk before it develops into an overt metabolic syndrome. The application of the VAI in particular populations of patients (women wi...
