Visceral fat tissue is an important predictor of cardio-metabolic diseases, carrying more risk
than general fat accumulation. Epicardial fat, a particular form of visceral fat deposited …

Due to its anatomical and functional proximity to the coronary circulation, epicardial adipose
tissue may represent an even more direct CVD risk marker than central adiposity. Lifestyle …

Background Metabolic syndrome is a combination of multiple cardiovascular (CV) risk
factors including insulin resistance (IR). Carotid, femoral intima media thickness (IMT), and …

Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose intolerance (IGT) are predictors of
cardiovascular disease (CVD). We tested the hypothesis that epicardial fat thickness (EFT) …

The aim of the study was to determine whether epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EAT), a
new cardiometabolic risk factor, is associated with essential hypertension. The sample …

Background and Objectives: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is shown to be an important
factor in the development of coronary artery disease, but numerous pathophysiological …

Regional body-fat distribution is one of the key variables that explains the metabolic
heterogeneity of obesity and its related cardiovascular risks. According to the ectopy …

Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in obese and diabetic patients. In
these groups of patients, the alterations of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) contribute to both …

This study aimed to investigate the effects of gender on the association between epicardial
fat thickness (EFT) and circadian blood pressure (BP) changes in patients with recently …

Aims Epicardial adipose tissue has been reported to be associated with the development of
cardiometabolic disease. Whether this is true for hypertension and non-dipper blood …
