چکیده
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral depot of the heart fat, which has high plasticity and directly contact with myocardium coronary arteries. fat unique paracrine organ closely anatomically physiologically related to myocardium. Recent studies have repeatedly confirmed role epicardial in progression cardiovascular diseases. The accumulation EAT, measured by using new non-invasive imaging techniques, prospectively associated onset disease (CHD) atrial fibrillation. This review focuses on modern vivo methods for assessing fat.

Clinical importance of epicardial adipose tissue
Different visceral fat compartments have several systemic effects and may play a role in the development of both insulin resistance and cardiovascular diseases. In the last couple of years special attention has been paid to the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which can be quantified by non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques. The epicardial fat is a unique fat compartment between the myocardiu...

متن کاملFactors Related to Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness
Dear Editor, We read the article by Akyüz et al. [1] with great interest. In their study, the authors concluded that the amount of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) was higher in subjects with xanthelasma than in subjects without. We appreciate their investigation concerning the relationship between xanthelasma and EAT thickness. However, a number of well-known factors may independently affect EA...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue as a New Indicator of Cardiovascular Risk
Abstract Background and Purpose: Epicardial fat is the true visceral fat located around the heart, particularly around sub-epicardial coronary arteries that may locally interact and modulate the coronary arteries and myocardium through paracrine or vasocrine secretion of anti-inflammatory and proatherogenic cytokines. Most previous studies have used echocardiography and reported controversia...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue and atrial fibrillation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF is often associated with profound functional and structural alterations of the atrial myocardium that compose its substrate. Recently, a relationship between the thickness of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and the incidence and severity of AF has been reported. Adipose tissue is a biologically active orga...
