Xanthelasma Is Associated with an Increased Amount of Epicardial Adipose Tissue
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we aimed to compare the amount of epicardial adipose tissue in subjects with and without xanthelasma. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Fifty-two subjects with xanthelasma and 52 age- and gender-matched control subjects were enrolled in this study. Epicardial adipose tissue was assessed by measuring epicardial fat thickness (EFT) with echocardiography. Participants were dic...
متن کاملIncreased Epicardial Adipose Tissue Is Associated with the Airway Dominant Phenotype of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
BACKGROUND Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been shown to be a non-invasive marker that predicts the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD). It has been reported that the EAT volume is increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, little is known about which phenotypes of COPD are associated with increased EAT. METHODS One hundred and eighty smokers...
متن کاملIncreased epicardial adipose tissue volume is associated with PR interval prolongation.
PURPOSE Epicardial fat is visceral adipose tissue that possesses inflammatory properties. Inflammation and obesity are associated with cardiovascular disease and arrhythmogenesis, but little is known about the relationship between epicardial fat and PR-Interval prolongation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and PR-interv...
متن کاملEpicardial adipose tissue is independently associated with increased left ventricular mass in untreated hypertensive patients: an observational study.
OBJECTIVE Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) secretes various inflammatory mediators and growth factor, and has endocrine and paracrine effects on myocardium and body. We planned the present study in order to evaluate the possible relationship between EAT and left ventricular mass (LVM), a potent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, independent of age, blood pressure and the metabo...
متن کاملA single slice measure of epicardial adipose tissue can serve as an indirect measure of total epicardial adipose tissue burden and is associated with obstructive coronary artery disease.
AIMS To evaluate the practical use of the single slice measurement of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) at the level of the left main coronary artery (EATLM) in predicting the presence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS Quantification of EATTotal and EATLM was performed on non-contrast CT scans of consecutive patients (without history of revascularization, cardiac...
