Association between early diastolic dysfunction and increased peri-/epicardial fat: A CMR based study
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Previous studies have shown that increased periand epicardial fat volume (PFV, EFV) leads to pathological diastolic strain (DS) and thus to cardiovascular morbidity. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diastolic strain and EFV/PFV in obese and non-obese individuals without previous history of cardiovascular disease or additional cardiovascular risk factors.

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...
متن کاملChemerin as a marker of subclinical cardiac involvement in psoriatic patients.
BACKGROUND Chemerin has been associated with psoriasis and inflammation, but there are no studies demonstrating an association between chemerin and subclinical cardiac involvement in psoriatic patients. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate whether psoriatic patients with increased epicardial fat tissue, impaired flow-mediated dilatation, and diastolic dysfunction have higher serum che...

BACKGROUND Ectopic accumulation of fat accompanies visceral obesity with detrimental effects. Lipid oversupply to cardiomyocytes leads to cardiac steatosis, and in animal studies lipotoxicity has been associated with impaired left ventricular (LV) function. In humans, studies have yielded inconclusive results. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of epicardial, pericardial and myocardi...

We read the article entitled “Importance of epicardial adipose tissue thickness measurement in obese adolescents, its relationship with carotid intima-media thickness, and echocardiographic findings” by Boyraz et al with interest1. They found a close relationship between epicardial adipose tissue thickness and some echocardiograhic parameters in obese adolescents to early detection of cardiac d...
متن کاملImpact of obesity and epicardial fat on early left atrial dysfunction assessed by cardiac MRI strain analysis
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity in obese individuals. We aimed to assess the ability of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) derived left atrial (LA) strain to detect early diastolic dysfunction in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes, and to explore the association between cardiac adipose tissue and LA function. METHODS Twenty patients with obesity and T2D ...
