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 کاملRemoving artifacts from atrial epicardial signals during atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. Adaptive noise canceller (ANC) and independent component analysis (ICA) are powerful tools for separating signals from their mixtures. For better understanding of the mechanism and characteristics of AF, the artifacts were eliminated in the measured signals from atrial. We use ANC to subtract the influences...
متن کاملLeft atrial epicardial adiposity and atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been linked to inflammatory factors and obesity. Epicardial fat is a source of several inflammatory mediators related to the development of coronary artery disease. We hypothesized that periatrial fat may have a similar role in the development of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Left atrium (LA) epicardial fat pad thickness was measured in consecutive cardiac CT...
متن کاملEffect of epicardial fat pad ablation on acute atrial electrical remodeling and inducibility of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Atrial electrical remodeling (AER) is the underlying mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF). The present study investigated the impact of epicardial fat pad (FP) ablation on acute AER (AAER) and inducibility of AF. METHODS AND RESULTS AAER was performed in 28 mongrel dogs through 4-h rapid atrial pacing (RAP). Before RAP, 14 dogs (ablation group) underwent FP ablation, and the other...
متن کاملAdhesive epicardial corticosteroids prevent postoperative atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND Postoperative atrial fibrillation remains a common cause of morbidity. Although epicardial drug delivery can increase efficacy and reduce side effects, it is impractical for postoperative atrial fibrillation because pericardial bleeding/effusion and drainage cause rapid drug elimination. Fibrin glue sprayed on the epicardium is vigorously adherent, allowing an admixed drug to remain ...
