Association of pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal fat with cardiovascular disease burden: the Framingham Heart Study.
AIMS The aim of this study was to assess whether pericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and visceral abdominal adipose tissue (VAT) are associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort underwent abdominal and chest multidetector computed tomography to quantify volumes of pericardial fat, intrathoraci...
متن کاملPericardial fat, intrathoracic fat, and measures of left ventricular structure and function: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Pericardial fat has been implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity-related cardiovascular disease. Whether the associations of pericardial fat and measures of cardiac structure and function are independent of the systemic effects of obesity and visceral adiposity has not been fully explored. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study (n=997; 54.4% women) under...
متن کاملRelations of Liver Fat With Prevalent and Incident Atrial Fibrillation in the Framingham Heart Study
BACKGROUND Obesity is an important risk factor for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and atrial fibrillation (AF). Less is known about the relations between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and AF. We sought to evaluate the association between fatty liver and prevalent and incident AF in the community. METHODS AND RESULTS We examined Framingham Heart Study participants who underwent a study-di...
متن کاملPericardial fat is associated with prevalent atrial fibrillation: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Obesity represents an important risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF). We tested the hypothesis that pericardial fat, a unique fat deposit in close anatomic proximity to cardiac structures and autonomic fibers, is associated with prevalent AF. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study underwent multidetector computed tomography from 2002 to 2005. We estima...
