Epicardial Adipose Tissue — A New Biomarker of Cardiovascular Risk
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has emerged as a new imaging-derived biomarker expressing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The role of epicardial thickness in predicting cardiovascular risk has been recently described in patients with subclinical atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, renal failure and different diseases characterized by an increased inflammatory status.1 The characteristics of...
متن کاملClinical importance of epicardial adipose tissue
Different visceral fat compartments have several systemic effects and may play a role in the development of both insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. In the last couple of years special attention has been paid to the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which can be quantified by non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques. The epicardial fat is a unique fat compartment between the myocardiu...
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...
