Intra-thoracic fat volume is associated with myocardial infarction in patients with metabolic syndrome
BACKGROUND Visceral adiposity is increased in those with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and atherosclerotic disease burden. In this study we evaluate for associations between intra-thoracic fat volume (ITFV) and myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with MetS. METHODS Ninety-four patients with MetS, MI or both were identified from a cardiovascular CMR clinical registry. MetS was defined in accord...
متن کاملIs Subclinical Thyroid Dysfunction Associated With with Coronary Heart Disease?
Introduction: Previous cohort studies reported contradictory data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary heart disease (CHD). Regarding this, the present study was conducted to illuminate this relationship. Materials and Methods: For the purpose of the study, 3,066 participants employed in a study conducted by Azizi et al. aged ≥ 20 years were subjected to thyro...
متن کاملPericardial fat is independently associated with human atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and pericardial fat. BACKGROUND Pericardial fat is visceral adipose tissue that possesses inflammatory properties. Inflammation and obesity are associated with AF, but the relationship between AF and pericardial fat is unknown. METHODS Pericardial fat volume was measured using computed t...
متن کاملEpicardial fat volume is associated with coronary endothelium-dependent vasomotor response in healthy subjects
Methods Myocardial blood flow (MBF) was determined by measuring coronary sinus flow with velocity-encoded cine magnetic resonance imaging at 3 teslas. We measured MBF at baseline and in response to sympathetic stimulation by cold pressor testing (CPT) in 17 healthy volunteers with normal left ventricular function (age 24 ±6 years, BMI=21.1±2.6kg/m2). Efat volume was volumetrically assessed by m...
متن کاملIntra-thoracic fat volume is associated with impaired myocardial function and adverse left ventricular remodeling in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease
Background Intrathoracic fat volume (ITFV) is a reproducible imaging biomarker and has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction. Relationships between ITFV and adverse left ventricular remodeling of the non-infarcted myocardium are unknown. We explored the relationship between ITFV and 4D myocardial strainbased markers of adverse remodeling in the non-infarct...
