Increased epicardial adipose tissue volume is associated with PR interval prolongation.
PURPOSE Epicardial fat is visceral adipose tissue that possesses inflammatory properties. Inflammation and obesity are associated with cardiovascular disease and arrhythmogenesis, but little is known about the relationship between epicardial fat and PR-Interval prolongation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and PR-interv...
متن کاملXanthelasma Is Associated with an Increased Amount of Epicardial Adipose Tissue
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we aimed to compare the amount of epicardial adipose tissue in subjects with and without xanthelasma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty-two subjects with xanthelasma and 52 age- and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled in this study. Epicardial adipose tissue was assessed by measuring epicardial fat thickness (EFT) with echocardiography. Participants were dic...
متن کاملIncreased Epicardial Adipose Tissue Is Associated with the Airway Dominant Phenotype of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
BACKGROUND Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been shown to be a non-invasive marker that predicts the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been reported that the EAT volume is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, little is known about which phenotypes of COPD are associated with increased EAT. METHODS One hundred and eighty smokers...
متن کاملIncreased Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume Correlates With Cardiac Sympathetic Denervation in Patients With Heart Failure.
RATIONALE It has been reported that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may affect myocardial autonomic function. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between EAT and cardiac sympathetic nerve activity in patients with heart failure. METHODS AND RESULTS In 110 patients with systolic heart failure, we evaluated the correlation between echocardiographic EAT thickness an...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue thickness is increased in patients with cardiac syndrome X.
BACKGROUND Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is defined as normal coronary arteries with angina pectoris and a positive stress test. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays an important role in inflammatory process in cardiovascular system, therefore EAT may affect the pathogenesis of different cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate the EAT thickness in patients with CSX and comp...
