Physical exercise potentially targets epicardial adipose tissue to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in patients with metabolic diseases : oxidative stress and inflammation emerge as major therapeutic targets

Nyawo, Thembeka A.; Pheiffer, Carmen; Mazibuko-Mbeje, Sithandiwe E.; Mthembu, Sinenhlanhla X.H.; Nyambuya, Tawanda M.; Nkambule, Bongani B.; Sadie-Van Gijsen, Hanel; Strijdom, Hans; Tiano, Luca; Dludla, Phiwayinkosi V. (MDPI, 2021-11-04)

Excess epicardial adiposity, within a state of obesity and metabolic syndrome, is emerging as an important risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Accordingly, increased epicardial fat thickness ...
A systematic review exploring the significance of measuring epicardial fat thickness in correlation to B-type natriuretic peptide levels as prognostic and diagnostic markers in patients with or at risk of heart failure

Nyawo, Thembeka A.; Dludla, Phiwayinkosi V.; Mazibuko-Mbeje, Sithandiwe E.; Mthembu, Sinenhlanhla X.H.; Nyambuya, Tawanda M.; Nkambule, Bongani B.; Sadie-Van Gijsen, Hanel; Strijdom, Hans; Pheiffer, Carmen (Springer, 2022-03)

Emerging evidence suggests that epicardial fat thickness (EFT) may be a critical feature to understand cardiac health and determine the risk of heart failure. The current review critically assesses and discusses evidence ...
