Impact of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessed by CMR on Atrial Fibrillation in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Motivation: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) frequently presents with atrial fibrillation (AF). But the mechanism of AF in HFpEF are incompletely understood. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is linked with left atrial volume and function changes.Goal(s): This study aims to evaluate the relationships between EAT volumes and AF in patients with HFpEF. Approach: All subjects were imaged with a 3.0T Philips scanner. CMR parameters were quantified with a stack of short axis views perpendicular to the long axis of the left ventricle. Results: EAT was an independent predictor for the presence of AF in patients with HFpEF and demonstrated high prediction power. Impact: EAT plays an important role in the progression of HFpEF and may be a promising therapeutic target.
