Epicardial adipose tissue measured by magnetic resonance imaging predicts abnormal adenosine stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and future adverse cardiovascular events
Background A growing body of evidence demonstrates a quantitative association between Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT), cardiometabolic risk factors and measures of coronary artery disease (CAD). It is still unclear, however, if EAT is predictive of abnormal functional stress tests and clinical outcomes. The aim of this study is to elucidate the relationship between the total volume of EAT, the ...
متن کاملQuantification of epicardial fat volume using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background A growing body of data has demonstrated a direct relationship between epicardial fat volume(EFV) and cardiovascular diseases. In fact, EFV has been shown to be an independent predictor of coronary atherosclerosis and atrial fibrillation. Currently, there is no standard protocol for assessing EFV using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Quantification of peri-ventricular EFV ut...
متن کاملComparison of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Fatty Acid Profile in Cardiovascular Disease Patients Diabetic and Non-Diabetic
ABSTRACT Background and Objective: The relationship between diabetes mellitus and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases has been demonstrated. The aim of this study was to determine the fatty acid profile of epicardial adipose tissue in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. &nb...
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...
