Diabetes during pregnancy—whether pre-existing or gestational—may lead to increased fat accumulation around the fetal heart, ...

Epicardial fat is a metabolically active organ that generates various bioactive molecules, which might significantly affect cardiac function. This small, visceral fat depot is now recognized as a ...

Although there have been relatively few studies of epicardial fat, the evidence reported so far suggests that epicardial adipose tissue is anatomically and clinically related to cardiac morphology ...

Objectives: The aim of our study was to assess the link between epicardial fat (EF) volume and paracardial fat (PF) volume, relative expressions of several genes in epicardial, paracardial, and ...

A deep learning model trained to quantify epicardial adipose tissue volume measured via routine coronary CT angiography scans can improve risk assessment for CV and non-CV outcomes, independent of ...

Cardiovia Ltd.' Viaone epicardial access system received U.S. FDA clearance for treating cardiac arrhythmias. The device provides clinicians with a safe and minimally invasive technology to reach the ...

Epicardial fat tissue surrounds the heart muscle and the coronary arteries. Pericardial fat tissue is outside of that on-the-heart epicardial tissue. Even though they’re snuggled up together ...

The following is a summary of “Increased epicardial tissue and reduced TAPSE and MAPSE scores in borderline personality ...

Patients can have a combined procedure that includes electrophysiological mapping and ablation by both endocardial and epicardial approaches. Sections 2.3 and 2.4 describe efficacy and safety outcomes ...

Evidence-based recommendations on percutaneous (non-thoracoscopic) epicardial catheter radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation. This involves using heat to destroy selected areas of the heart ...
