Relation of Epicardial Fat Thickness to Subclinical Right Ventricular Dysfunction Assessed by Strain and Strain Rate Imaging in Subjects with Metabolic Syndrome: A Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Study.
Background Right ventricular ( RV) function is known to be impaired in the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). Epicardial adipose tissue is a metabolically active organ that generates various bioactive molecules, which might affect cardiac function and morphology. Thus, we hypothesized that RV dy...
