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

The well-studied NF-κB signaling system is a key mediator of the inflammatory response. Large-scale sequencing studies in ...

The presence of excessive epicardial fat adds to the weight of the ventricles and increases the effort involved in pumping blood around the body. Why should such an energy store be located in this ...

Introduction: OBJECTIVES To investigate whether differences exist in epicardial fat volume (EFV) and mean epicardial fat density (MEAN) among phenotypes of coronary artery disease (CAD). BACKGROUND ...

Though development of automatic endocardial segmentation methods has received much attention, the same cannot be said about epicardial segmentation, in spite of the importance of full myocardial ...

One prior study reported increased values of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which has been shown to be a sensitive marker for cardiovascular disease risk. Against this background, studies assessing ...

Abstract: The effect of potentials generated during depolarization of the left ventricle on epicardial unipolar electrograms recorded from the right ventricle was studied using the right ventricular ...

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

We read the article "The Relationship between GRACE Score and Epicardial Fat Thickness(EFT) in non-STEMI Patients" by Gul et al. 1 The authors concluded that end-systolic and end-diastolic EFTs were ...

A total of 23 mongrel dogs were studied. The sinus node and atrioventricular node epicardial fat pads were exposed through a right lateral thoracotomy. Botulinum toxin (Botox, 50 U per fat pad) or 0.9 ...

Introduction: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA). Methods: The present ...
