Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation is thought to play a role in the
pathophysiology of heart failure (HF) with mid-range and preserved ejection fraction, but its …

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an endocrine and paracrine organ constituted by a layer
of adipose tissue directly located between the myocardium and visceral pericardium. Under …

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) interacts with the vascular wall and secretes bioactive
factors which regulate vascular wall physiology. Vice versa, vascular wall inflammation …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate preablation computed tomography angiography
(CTA) for atrial and epicardial features to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after …

Background The independent role of pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) as an ectopic fat
associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. This study aimed to …

Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD), the rate-limiting enzyme for fatty acid β-
oxidation, has a negative regulatory effect on pathological cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis …

Introduction and objectives Previous studies have suggested that epicardial adipose tissue
(EAT) could exert a paracrine effect in the myocardium. However, few studies have …

Objective The aim of this retrospective study was to determine whether regional epicardial
adipose tissue (EAT) exerts localized effects on adjacent myocardial left ventricular (LV) …

Background There is an increased interest in quantifying and characterizing epicardial fat
which has been linked to various cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease …

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 …
