Abstract Background Excess fat accumulation around the heart (i.e., pericardial fat) is positively associated with cardiovascular disease. Pericardial composed of two distinct depots: (1) epicardial fat, which a metabolically active adipose tissue located between and pericardium, (2) paracardial deposit in mediastinum outside parietal pericardium. Both depots are visible on horizontal long axis...
BACKGROUND Human mesenchymal stromal cells (hMSCs) from adipose cardiac tissue have attracted considerable interest in regard to cell-based therapies. We aimed to test the hypothesis that hMSCs from the heart and epicardial fat would be better cells for infarct repair. METHODS AND RESULTS We isolated and grew hMSCs from patients with ischemic heart disease from 4 locations: epicardial fat, pe...
OBJECTIVES Pericardial fat as a visceral fat depot may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis. To gain evidence for that concept we sought to investigate the relation of pericardial fat volumes to risk factors, serum adiponectin levels, inflammatory biomarkers, and the quantity and morphology of coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Using Dual source CT angiograph...
Few studies have investigated the association between ectopic fat from different depots and cardiovascular risk scores and their components in the same population, and none have investigated these relations in South Asians. In a cross-sectional analysis of 796 participants in the Mediators of Atherosclerosis in South Asians Living in America (MASALA) study who had measurements of visceral, subc...
A 56-year old lady presented with mild chest pain. The echocar-diography revealed gross pericardial effusion. Repeated percu-taneous aspirations were performed. Ultimately, computed tomography helped in reaching the diagnosis of pericardial hydatid disease (Fig. 1A). On operating, a single infected cyst was found encompassing the heart with multiple daughter cysts (Figs 1B and 2A–C). Figure 1: ...
PURPOSE Using a three-dimensional ECG- and respiratory navigator gated magnetization prepared mDixon-sequence (3D-Dixon) we quantified epi- and pericardial fat volumes (EFV, PFV) in hypertensive men compared to a healthy control group and related the amount of fat volumes in hypertensive men to the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction (MI). MATERIALS AND METHODS...
Intrathoracic lipotoxicity is the consequence of increased accumulation and biological activity of various fat deposits in obesity, more specifically epicardial (“fat around the heart”) and intramyocardial fat (“fat within the myocardium”). Epicardial fat is located in close proximity to the coronary arteries within the visceral pericardial layer (in contrast to the paracardial or mediastinal f...
OBJECTIVE To test the association of regional fat depots with circulating adiponectin and resistin concentrations and to assess the potential mediating effect of adipokines on associations between abdominal fat depots and cardiometabolic risk factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants from the Framingham Heart Study offspring cohort (n = 916, 55% women; mean age 59 years) free of cardi...
We report a case of thymic hyperplasia accompanied by pericardial lipomatosis and right facial hemihypertrophy in an 8-year-old boy. On imaging studies, the hyperplastic thymus had prominent curvilinear and nodular fatty areas simulating a fat-containing anterior mediastinal mass, which is an unusual finding in children. To our knowledge, this is the first report on a child with a combination o...
