Simple Summary Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death
worldwide. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is one of the most important risk factors for …

Epicardial fat (epicardial adipose tissue, EAT) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of
coronary artery disease (CAD). The objective of this study was to examine the relationship …

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a small but very biologically active ectopic fat depot that
surrounds the heart. Given its rapid metabolism, thermogenic capacity, unique …

Ectopic adipose tissue surrounding the intra-abdominal organs (visceral fat) and located in
the liver, heart, pancreas and muscle, is linked to cardio-metabolic complications commonly …

Abstract Purpose of Review Epicardial adipose tissue has been associated with the
development/progression of cardiovascular disease. We appraise the strength of the …

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is in immediate apposition to the underlying
myocardium and, therefore, has the potential to influence myocardial systolic and diastolic …

Background Ectopic accumulation of fat accompanies visceral obesity with detrimental
effects. Lipid oversupply to cardiomyocytes leads to cardiac steatosis, and in animal studies …

Purpose Modifications of cardiovascular and metabolic parameters during testosterone (T)
replacement and withdrawal have never been investigated in severely obese hypogonadal …

Introduction Imbalance between pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines secreted from visceral
adipose tissue (VAT) contributes to the pathogenesis of certain cardiovascular and …

Aim Diastolic dysfunction is the decreased flexibility of the left ventricle due to the impaired
ability of the myocardium to relax and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of heart …
