Epicardial adipose tissue, myocardial remodelling and adverse outcomes in asymptomatic aortic stenosis: a post hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial.

Heart (British Cardiac Society)
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue represents a metabolically active visceral fat depot that is in direct contact with the left ventricular myocardium. While it is associated with coronary artery disease, little is known regarding its role in aort...

Impact of CT reconstruction algorithms on pericoronary and epicardial adipose tissue attenuation.

European journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the impact of adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-Veo (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithms on the quantification of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and epicardial adi...

Automatic segmentation of pericardial adipose tissue from cardiac MR images via semi-supervised method with difference-guided consistency.

Medical physics
BACKGROUND: Accurate and automatic segmentation of pericardial adipose tissue (PEAT) in cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) images is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Precise segmentation is challenging due to high co...

Deep learning-based workflow for automatic extraction of atria and epicardial adipose tissue on cardiac computed tomography in atrial fibrillation.

Journal of the Chinese Medical Association : JCMA
BACKGROUND: Preoperative estimation of the volume of the left atrium (LA) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on computed tomography (CT) images is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. We aimed to design a deep le...

Automated assessment of cardiac pathologies on cardiac MRI using T1-mapping and late gadolinium phase sensitive inversion recovery sequences with deep learning.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: A deep learning (DL) model that automatically detects cardiac pathologies on cardiac MRI may help streamline the diagnostic workflow. To develop a DL model to detect cardiac pathologies on cardiac MRI T1-mapping and late gadolinium phase ...

Deep-Learning for Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessment With Computed Tomography: Implications for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction.

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging
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 integrating this measurement in routine CCTA interpretation has not been ...

Deep learning segmentation and quantification method for assessing epicardial adipose tissue in CT calcium score scans.

Scientific reports
Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EAT) has been linked to coronary artery disease and the risk of major adverse cardiac events. As manual quantification of EAT is time-consuming, requires specialized training, and is prone to human error, we develope...
