متن کاملPericardial fat necrosis mimicking pyothorax.
A 34-year-old man was referred to our institution for treatment of pyothorax that had proven to be incurable with antibiotics. His symptom was acute left chest pain. Abnormal findings were absent in the laboratory data and an electrocardiogram. A chest radiograph showed a left pericardial shadow and pleural effusion (Picture A). Chest CT revealed a mass adjacent to the thickened pericardium wit...
متن کاملWeight of pericardial fat on coronaropathy.
The regional distribution of adipose tissue (AT) is a major determinant of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. The mass of fat in the visceral area associates independently of obesity with the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases in a series of clinical and epidemiological studies.1 This led to the concept of a pathophysiological link between abdominal obesity and metabolic...
متن کاملThe Relationship Between Pericardial Fat and Atrial Fibrillation.
Pericardial adiposity is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular risk, especially for coronary artery disease. However, until 2010 researchers have not focused on the mechanistic role of pericardial fat in atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis. Only a limited number of studies have reported on the significant association between pericardial fat and AF prevalence, and the role of peric...
متن کاملThe Association between Atrium Electromechanical Interval and Pericardial Fat
OBJECTIVES Pericardial fat (PCF) may induce local inflammation and subsequent structural remodeling of the left atrium (LA). However, the adverse effects of PCF on LA are difficult to be evaluated and quantified. The atrial electromechanical interval determined by transthoracic echocardiogram was shown to be a convenient parameter which can reflect the process of LA remodeling. The goal of the ...
