The 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 کاملPrevalence of coronary artery ectasia in older adults and the relationship with epicardial fat volume by cardiac computed tomography angiography
OBJECTIVE Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) refers to abnormal dilation of coronary artery segments to 1.5 times of adjacent normal ones. Epicardial fat is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. The relationship between CAE and epicardial fat has not yet been investigated. This study aimed to assess the relationship between CAE and epicardial fat volume (EFV) in older people by dual-source co...
متن کاملComparison of cardiac function and coronary angiography between conventional pigs and micropigs as measured by multidetector row computed tomography
Pigs are the most likely source animals for cardiac xenotransplantation. However, an appropriate method for estimating the cardiac function of micropigs had not been established. Computed tomography (CT) analysis aimed at estimating cardiac function and assessing the coronary arteries has not been carried out in micropigs. This study determined the feasibility of evaluating cardiac function in ...
متن کاملLocalised pericardial tamponade diagnosed by computed tomography: a case presentation
Introduction In a normovolemic patient, low cardiac output after cardiac surgery may be a result of myocardial ischaemia and/ or pericardial tamponade. However, without any objective evidence of ischaemia alongwith no signs of pericardial tamponade or regional wall motion abnormality on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE), the diagnosis remains ambiguous. Computed tomography (CT scan) of the che...
