Imaging cardiac fat.

چکیده
Ectopic fat deposition has been associated with lipotoxicity and derangement in local and systemic metabolism, insulin resistance, cardiac dysfunction, atherosclerosis, local, and systemic inflammation. The mechanisms and potentially detrimental effects of such an accumulation should be fully investigated in order to establish preventive strategies. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of current knowledge regarding imaging techniques to measure cardiac fat deposition and its potential clinical relevance, if any.

Factors influencing the pattern and intensity of myocardial 18F-FDG uptake in oncologic PET-CT imaging
Introduction:Myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is highly variable in oncologic whole body 18F-FDG PET/CT studies, ranging from quite intense to minimal distribution. Intense or heterogeneous myocardial 18F-FDG uptake is undesirable as it may interfere with the visual or quantitative evaluation of tumoral invasion and metastases in pericardium, myocardiu...
متن کاملMulti-echo IDEAL Cardiac Water-Fat Imaging
Introduction In cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, separation of water and fat signals is important for improved visualization of enhancing myocardium and pericardial disease, as well as direct visualization of fat in pathologies such as arrythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), fatty tumors, and fatty infiltration of chronic myocardial infarctions. Fat can appear similar to slow ...
متن کاملCardiac function and lipid distribution in rats fed a high-fat diet: in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy.
Obesity is a major risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and its pathophysiological precondition insulin resistance. Very little is known about the metabolic changes that occur in the myocardium and consequent changes in cardiac function that are associated with high-fat accumulation. Therefore, cardiac function and metabolism were evaluated in control rats ...
متن کاملFeasibility of T2* Estimation with Chemical Shift-Based Water-Fat Separated Cardiac Imaging
Introduction T2* mapping has been investigated in cardiac MRI for imaging the myocardial BOLD effect [1] and in iron overload assessment [2]. Advanced T2* estimation techniques in the context of chemical shift-based water-fat decomposition have recently been developed for iron detection in organs such as the liver, while simultaneously estimating fat content [3]. Separately, chemical shiftbased...
متن کاملEffects of bariatric surgery on cardiac ectopic fat: lesser decrease in epicardial fat compared to visceral fat loss and no change in myocardial triglyceride content.
OBJECTIVES This study investigated the effect of bariatric surgery (BS)-induced weight loss on cardiac ectopic fat using 3T magnetic resonance imaging in morbid obesity. BACKGROUND Heart disease is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in obese patients. Deposition of cardiac ectopic fat has been related to increased heart risk. Whether sustained weight loss can modulate epicar...
