متن کاملPericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and measures of left ventricular structure and function: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Pericardial fat has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. Whether the associations of pericardial fat and measures of cardiac structure and function are independent of the systemic effects of obesity and visceral adiposity has not been fully explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study (n=997; 54.4% women) under...
متن کاملAssociation of pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal fat with cardiovascular disease burden: the Framingham Heart Study.
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess whether pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAT) are associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort underwent abdominal and chest multidetector computed tomography to quantify volumes of pericardial fat, intrathoraci...
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 کاملComplex biphasic relationship between epicardial fat and ischemic heart disease.
he epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) constitutes visceral fat located around the myocardium and epicardial segments of the coronary arteries.1 Prior studies demonstrate a static correlation between EAT and left ventricular mass, with a constant EAT to myocardial mass ratio in normal, hypertrophic, and ischemic hearts.2 However, EAT is a dynamic fat depot, with incompletely understood temporal cha...
