Accumulation of epicardial fat rather than visceral fat is an independent risk factor for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis
BACKGROUND Symptoms of heart failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function are common among patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD). Epicardial fat (EpF) is an ectopic fat depot with possible paracrine or mechanical effects on myocardial function. The aim of our current study is to assess the association between EpF and Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in patients ...
متن کاملAndroid Fat Depot Is More Closely Associated with Metabolic Syndrome than Abdominal Visceral Fat in Elderly People
BACKGROUND Fat accumulation in android compartments may confer increased metabolic risk. The incremental utility of measuring regional fat deposition in association with metabolic syndrome (MS) has not been well described particularly in an elderly population. METHODS AND FINDINGS As part of the Korean Longitudinal Study on Health and Aging, which is a community-based cohort study of people a...
متن کاملPericardial- Rather than Intramyocardial Fat Is Independently Associated with Left Ventricular Systolic Heart Function in Metabolically Healthy Humans.
BACKGROUND Obesity is a major risk factor to develop heart failure, in part due to possible lipotoxic effects of increased intramyocardial (MYCL) and/or local or paracrine effects of pericardial (PERI) lipid accumulation. Recent evidence suggests that MYCL is highly dynamic and might rather be a surrogate marker for disturbed energy metabolism than the underlying cause of cardiac dysfunction. O...
متن کاملRepair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm is associated with persistent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular (LV) diastolic function has received much attention recently. However, few studies have evaluated LV diastolic function in the perioperative period. The aim of this study was to elucidate perioperative changes in diastolic function using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) in patients undergoing repair of an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). METHODS Eight patien...
متن کاملPericardial rather than epicardial fat is a cardiometabolic risk marker: an MRI vs echo study.
BACKGROUND Several studies using echocardiography identified epicardial adipose tissue (EPI) as an important cardiometabolic risk marker. However, validation compared with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography has not been performed. Moreover, pericardial adipose tissue (PERI) has recently been shown to have some correlation with cardiovascular disease risk factors. The aims o...
