人类心外脂肪组织与肥胖患者心血管疾病的关系

The Relationship between Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Cardiovascular Disease in Obesity

近年来,越来越多的证据支持心外膜脂肪组织在结构及功能方面对心血管有着重要的影响,临床实践及动物实验也发现心外膜脂肪组织在心血管疾病的发生中扮演着一定的角色。早期通过影像学检查方法对心外膜脂肪组织进行评估,对避免后续心血管疾病的发生具有一定的临床实践意义。

Recent evidences suggest that epicardial and perivascular adipose tissue could mechanically and functionally affect the heart and vascular tissue. Experimental and clinical observations suggest that epicardial and perivascular adipose tissue may be a role in cardiovascular disease with obesity. It may be important to evaluate the epicardial and perivascular adipose earlier with examination of imageology to avoid the development of cardiovascular disease.
