Characterization of Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissue in Coronary Artery Disease

NCT02965625 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 28

Last updated 2020-11-27

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Human epicardial fat is the true visceral fat depot of the heart, and its regional distribution and physiology is of growing scientific and clinical interest. This study aims to characterize the expression profile and function of the epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue compartments of the heart (EAT and PAT). EAT and PAT adipose biopsies will be obtained from patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) or valve replacement surgery.
