Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequent cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. AF is often
associated with profound functional and structural alterations of the atrial myocardium that …

Excess visceral adiposity, in particular that located adjacent to the heart and coronary
arteries is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In the pathophysiological state …

Aims Human epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a visceral and perivascular fat that has been
shown to act locally on myocardium, atria, and coronary arteries. Its abundance has been …

Epicardial and perivascular fat depot size is considered an index of cardiac and visceral
obesity. The functional and anatomic proximity of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to …

The amount of adipose tissue that accumulates around the atria is associated with the risk,
persistence, and severity of atrial fibrillation (AF). A strong body of clinical and experimental …

The objectives were to determine whether epicardial fat (EAT) is subject to modification, and
whether various strategies accomplish this end point and the relationship between weight …

Objective To explore the transcriptome of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) as compared to
subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and its modifications in a small number of patients with …

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and
heart failure, which highlights the need for improved understanding of factors contributing to …

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an atypical fat depot surrounding the heart
with a putative role in the development of atherosclerosis. Methods and results We profiled …

It has been hypothesised that oral bacteria can migrate, through the blood, from the mouth to
the arterial plaques, thus exacerbating atherosclerosis. This study compared bacteria …
