Abstract: To assess the accuracy of solutions to the inverse problem of electrocardiography in man, epicardial potentials computed from thoracic potential distributions were compared to potentials ...

Elevations in cardiac troponin (cTn) after long bouts of aerobic exercise are not associated with subclinical coronary artery ...

Department of Medical Physiology, Texas A&M University Health Science Center, College Station 77843-1114. Coronary microvascular diameters were measured using stroboscopic epi-illumination and ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
