Abstract

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a component of the visceral adiposity located between the heart and pericardium. It is associated with certain diseases, such as metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, and hypertension. Therefore, measurement of EAT thickness has recently gained importance. Examination by transthoracic echocardiography for measuring EAT thickness is preferable because of easy availability and low cost. The present review focuses on the method of measuring EAT thickness by transthoracic echocardiography as well as the issues of concern

Özet

Kalp ile perikart arasında yerleşen viseral yağ dokusunun bir parçası olan epikart yağ dokusu (EYD) metabolik sendrom, koroner arter hastalığı, hipertansiyon gibi hastalıklarla ilişkilidir. Bu nedenle EYD kalınlığı ölçümü son zamanlarda önem kazanmaya başlamıştır. Epikart yağ dokusu kalınlığı ölçümünde transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile inceleme kolay ulaşılabilirlik, düşük maliyet gibi nedenlerle ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu yazıda EYD kalınlığının transtorasik ekokardiyografi ile ölçüm yöntemi ve dikkat edilmesi gereken konular tartışılacaktır.
