Epicardial Fat and Atrial Fibrillation: A Review.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive disorder that increases with age. Obesity is an important risk factor for AF. Pericardial fat is an active adipose tissue in close proximity to the heart and has been shown to be a risk factor for structural as well as coronary artery disease independent of body mass index. Recent studies suggest a role of epicardial fat in atrial remodeling as well as ...
متن کاملEpicardial fat and coronary artery disease: An open debate
stress-only MPI SPECT (≈3 mSv), rest-stress MPI PET Rubidium-82 (≈3 mSv), and rest-stress MPI PET 13N (≈2 mSv) are represented in the recent consensus document (3). In addition, as defined by the authors, novel SPECT camera technology may allow us to reduce radiation doses with SPECT imaging (5). Stress-only MPI use may be encouraged whenever possible to reduce radiation exposure. Finally, in f...
متن کاملSuppression of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery through Temporary Atrial Epicardial Pacing
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) constitutes the most common arrhythmia and results in morbidity and prolonged hospitalization secondary to hemodynamic decompensation. Although pharmacologic therapy has been used to help prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation, it suffers from limited efficacy and adverse effects. In the non operative sett...
متن کاملIncidence of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Its Risk Factors in Shiraz, Iran during 2017-18
Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common disorientations after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and can affect the chance of survival in the first year after surgery. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on...
