Is the Measurement of Epicardial Fat in Obese Adolescents Valuable?
Epicardial adipose tissue is a visceral fat originated from splanchnophrenic mesothelial cells and has same origin with mesenteric and omental fat. It is located between the parietal and visceral pericardium. Although paracardial fat on external surface of the parietal pericardium is located very close to the epicardial fat, it’s origin-the primitive thoracic mesenchyme, is different from epica...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Epicardial Fat Thickness by Echocardiography and Other Parameters in Obese Adolescents
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally and affects people of all ages. Recent studies have shown that visceral adipose tissue measured by magnetic resonance imaging and/or computed tomography correlates positively with epicardial adipose tissue. Epicardial fat, which is correlated to several metabolic parameters, can be assessed by echocardiography. The aim ...
متن کاملAerobic exercise training reduces epicardial fat in obese men.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of exercise training on ventricular epicardial fat thickness in obese men and to investigate the relationship of the change in epicardial fat thickness to changes in abdominal fat tissue following exercise training. Twenty-four obese middle-aged men [age, 49.4 +/- 9.6 yr; weight, 87.7 +/- 11.2 kg; body mass index (BMI), 30.7 +/- 3.3 kg/m(2)...
متن کاملMeasurement of Epicardial Fat Thickness by Echocardiography Presents Challenges
To the Editor, It was with great interest that we read the paper by Kaplan et al.1 entitled ‘‘Evaluation of Electrocardiographic T-peak to T-end Interval in Subjects with Increased Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness’’ published on Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia in December 2015. They aimed to investigate the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EFT) and ventricular repolarization. ...
