Obesity and diabetes are strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders
including dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Adipose …

The current epidemic of obesity with the associated increasing incidence of insulin
resistance, diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis affecting a large proportion of the North …

Background: Obesity has been linked to the development of hypertension, but whether total
adiposity or site-specific fat accumulation underpins this relationship is unclear. Objectives …

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) refers to the fat depot that exists on the surface of the
myocardium and is contained entirely beneath the pericardium, thus surrounding and in …

It is well established that the cardiovascular (CV) risk of obesity is more strongly associated
with visceral rather than subcutaneous adiposity. 1–3 Anthropometric variables that account …

Aims In patients with cardiovascular disease, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is
characterized by insulin resistance, high pro-inflammatory chemokines, and low …

Objectives: This study sought to determine whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume
predicts the progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in the general …

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) surrounding the human coronary arteries, secretes a
wide range of adipocytokines affecting the biology of the adjacent vascular wall in a …

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is a marker of visceral obesity that can
be measured in coronary computed tomography angiograms (CCTA). The clinical value of …

Background Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that epicardial adipose tissue
(EAT) may cause coronary artery disease (CAD). A meta-analysis was conducted to …
