Epicardial fat in heart failure with reduced versus preserved ejection fraction
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! 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.

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.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.
