How do we measure epicardial adipose tissue thickness by transthoracic echocardiography?

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a component of the visceral adiposity located between the heart and pericardium. It is associated with certain diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. Therefore, measurement of EAT thickness has recently gained importance. Examination by transthoracic echocardiography for measuring EAT thickness is preferable because of...

Association of epicardial adipose tissue thickness by echocardiography and hypertension.

OBJECTIVES Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a component of visceral adiposity with endocrine and paracrine effects. It is also associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). In this study, we investigated the relationship between EAT thickness and hypertension that is a component of MetS. STUDY DESIGN Enrolled in this study were 140 hypertensive patients and 60 age- and sex-similar normotensive...

Is epicardial adipose tissue, assessed by echocardiography, a reliable method for visceral adipose tissue prediction?

INTRODUCTION Epicardial adipose tissue is an ectopic fat storage at the heart surface in direct contact with the coronary arteries. It is considered a metabolically active tissue, being a local source of pro-inflammatory factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. The AIM of our study was to establish correlations between echocardiographic assessment of epicardial ad...

Epicardial adipose tissue and atherogenesis: EAT your heart out.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasingly recognized among HIV-infected patients, and carefully performed cohort studies show increased relative risk ratios of 1.5–2.0 [1,2]. Moreover, these studies suggest that traditional risk factors, while accounting for some degree of this increase in relative risk, do not account for all or even a major portion of the increased risk [1]. Insights into ...

Epicardial adipose tissue in patients with heart failure

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is common in patients with heart failure (HF), contributes to the progression of cardiac disease, and is associated with adverse prognosis. Previous evidence indicates that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is independently associated with sleep apnea in obese individuals. We explored the relationship between SDB and EAT in HF patients. METHO...
