Epicardial fat in heart failure with reduced versus preserved ejection fraction

Sign Up to like & get
recommendations! Published in 2021 at "European Journal of Heart Failure"

DOI: 10.1002/ejhf.2156

Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays important physiological and pathological roles in the regulation of myocardial function. By sharing the same microcirculation as the myocardium, EAT may maintain cardiac health via mechanical, metabolic, thermogenic and paracrine… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2022 at "Pediatric Cardiology"

DOI: 10.1007/s00246-021-02811-x

Abstract: We aimed to examine the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) measured by echocardiography and cardiovascular functional parameters in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The study included 50 type 1 diabetic children and… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Endocrinological Investigation"

DOI: 10.1007/s40618-021-01687-1

Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue is a novel cardiovascular risk factor. It plays a role in the progression of coronary artery disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Given its rapid metabolism, clinical measurability, and modifiability, epicardial fat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.hrthm.2018.08.019

Abstract: BACKGROUND Botulinum toxin (BTX) injections into epicardial fat pads in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has resulted in suppression of atrial fibrillation (AF) during the early postoperative period through 1-year of follow-up in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2018.04.009

Abstract: BACKGROUND The relationship of epicardial fat and cardiac arrhythmias has been described in many studies. The association of the amounts of epicardial fat and the characteristics of electrocardiogram (ECG) remains unclear. The purpose of this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jelectrocard.2020.05.009

Abstract: BACKGROUND Recent studies demonstrated that epicardial fat tissue (EFT) was associated with prevalent AF and recurrences following the catheter ablation. We evaluated the value of EFT for the prediction of advanced interatrial block (a-IAB) in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/1354750x.2018.1485056

Abstract: Abstract Background: Hyperthyroidism is associated with increased metabolic activity and thermogenesis. Irisin is a key molecule in thermogenesis and energy expenditure via adipose tissue browning. Epicardial fat was previously defined as brown-like fat. Thus, here… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/21623945.2022.2073854

Abstract: ABSTRACT Predictors of overall epicardial adipose tissue deposition have been found to vary between males and females. Whether similar sex differences exist in epicardial fat cell morphology is currently unknown. This study aimed to determine… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehae666.394

Abstract: Radiofrequency (RF) current is the classic ablation technology in the EP lab. Underlying RF ablation parameters, such as RF power, impedance, duration and contact force are used to calculate expected lesion size. Furthermore, lesion indices… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/europace/euaf085.402

Abstract: Abstract Background Achieving sufficient ablation lesions can be challenging, and it has long been suspected that wall thickness plays a significant role in this process, along with the potential influence of epicardial fat. Traditional imaging… read more here.
