Objective Our study aimed to investigate the association between epicardial adipose tissue
(EAT) and atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence risk after catheter ablation. Methods We searched …

Background The association of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and its metabolic activity
with atrial fibrillation (AF) is an area of active investigation. Left atrial (LA) enhancing EAT (e …

myocardial adiposity caused by aging, obesity, or cardiovascular disease (CVD) is …

Both obesity and type 2 diabetes are important risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF), possibly
because they both cause an expansion of epicardial adipose tissue, which is the source of …

While AF most often occurs in the setting of atrial disease, current assessment and treatment
of patients with AF does not focus on the extent of the atrial myopathy that serves as the …
