Epicardial adipose tissue volume and cardiovascular disease in hemodialysis patients.
OBJECTIVE Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is proposed as a cardiovascular risk marker in non-uremic subjects. However, little is known about its role in patients with higher cardiovascular risk profile such as chronic kidney disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between EAT and several cardiovascular surrogate markers (coronary artery calcification (CAC), arterial s...
متن کاملFactors Related to Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness
Dear Editor, We read the article by Akyüz et al. [1] with great interest. In their study, the authors concluded that the amount of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) was higher in subjects with xanthelasma than in subjects without. We appreciate their investigation concerning the relationship between xanthelasma and EAT thickness. However, a number of well-known factors may independently affect EA...
متن کاملEpicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness in Patients With Subclinical Hypothyroidism and the Relationship Thereof With Visceral Adipose Tissue Thickness
BACKGROUND Subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) is associated with cardiovascular metabolic syndromes, especially dislipidemia and abdominal obesity. Visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have the same ontogenic origin and produce many proinflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. We evaluated EAT and VAAT thickness in patients with SH. METHODS Forty-one pati...
متن کاملAssociation 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 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...
