心外膜脂肪组织与心房颤动关系的研究进展

Research progress of relationship between epicardial adipose tissue and atrial fibrillation

心房颤动(atrial fibrillation,AF)是一种常见的房性心律失常,AF导致的心功能损害和卒中是导致残疾及死亡的重要原因。心外膜脂肪组织(epicardial adipose tissue,EAT)是一种具有重要内分泌和炎症功能的生物活性器官,近年来研究表明,EAT与AF的发生和发展有着密切的关系。现就EAT与AF的关系的研究进展作一综述,旨在为AF的预防和治疗提供新思路。

Atrial fibrillation(AF)is a kind of common atrial arrhythmia,cardiac function damage and stroke caused by AF are important causes of disability and death.Epicardial adipose tissue(EAT)is a bioactive organ which has important endocrine and inflammatory functions.In recent years,studies have shown that EAT has a close relationship with the occurrence and development of AF.This article reviews the research progress of the relationship between EAT and AF,aiming at providing new ideas for prevention and treatment of AF.
