Epicardial fat, metabolic dysregulation, and cardiovascular risk: putting things together.
For several decades, pathologists observed that coronary atherosclerosis is generally limited to subepicardial segments and that intramyocardial coronary segments rarely show atherosclerosis. They also observed that pericardial fat is primarily located along the main coronary branches. These 2 observations led investigators to suspect and confirm a relationship between pericardial fat and coron...
متن کاملEpicardial fat thickness and cardiovascular involvements.
Dear Editor, We have read the article ” Epicardial fat thickness(EFT) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis” written by Erdem et al. with a great interest.1 The authors aimed to explain the relationship between epicardial fat thickness and clinical and echocardiographic parameters in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They concluded that EFT as an indicator of cardiovascular involvement was hi...
متن کاملEpicardial Fat Thickness and its Association with Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Previous studies have clearly shown that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) mass is associated with increased incidence of coronary artery disease. In the present study, the relationship between the EAT volume measured by cardiac multislice computerized tomography (MSCT) and cardiovascular risk was investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Ninety type 2 diabetic patients and 62 healt...
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 کاملA correlative study of Epicardial fat thickness with other cardiovascular risk factors in patients with prediabetes
Prediabetes is a condition between a normal glucose tolerance and diabetes mellitus. It includes impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), or both. Prediabetes is related with undesirable cardiovascular outcomes. Epicardial fat thickness (EFT) has been correlated with cardiovascular risk factors. We herein aimed to assess EFT in prediabetic patients. We evaluated100 pati...
