DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.1799
Abstract: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA), a serious complication of transmural myocardial infarction, is generally related to poor cardiovascular outcomes. The formation of LVA is essentially an inflammatory remodeling process regulated by multiple systemic and local factors.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12872-020-01499-w
Abstract: Background We aimed to investigate the association of lesion-specific epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and density with the presence of myocardial ischemia. Methods We enrolled 45 patients (55 lesions) with known or suspected coronary artery… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0183514
Abstract: Background and objective Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is associated with coronary plaque burden and adverse events. We aimed to determine, whether CT-derived EAT attenuation in addition to EAT volume distinguishes patients with and without… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2022.924646
Abstract: Objective Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is related to atrial fibrillation (AF), but the specific mechanism is still unclear. Left atrial (LA) low voltage zones (LVZ) can well reflect atrial fibrosis. This study investigated the relationship… read more here.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Ultra-Marathon Runners: A Pilot Study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health"
DOI: 10.3390/ijerph18063136
Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Data regarding the influence of extremely intensive training on CVD are scarce. We compared EAT volume among ultra-marathon runners and in the sedentary control… read more here.
