Abstract
Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a unique cardiomyopathy that is common in diabetic patients, and it is also a diabetic complication for which no effective treatment is currently available. Moreover, relevant studies have revealed that a link exists between type 2 diabetes and heart failure and that abnormal thickening of EAT is inextricably linked to the development of diabetic heart failure. Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that EAT is implicated in the pathophysiologic process of diabetic myocardial disease. In this overview, we will introduce the physiology, pathophysiology of the disease and potential therapeutic strategies, knowledge gaps, and future directions of the role of epicardial adipose tissue in type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure to promote the development of novel therapeutic approaches to improve the prognosis of patients with diabetic cardiomyopathy.
期刊介绍:
Heart Failure Reviews is an international journal which develops links between basic scientists and clinical investigators, creating a unique, interdisciplinary dialogue focused on heart failure, its pathogenesis and treatment. The journal accordingly publishes papers in both basic and clinical research fields. Topics covered include clinical and surgical approaches to therapy, basic pharmacology, biochemistry, molecular biology, pathology, and electrophysiology.
The reviews are comprehensive, expanding the reader''s knowledge base and awareness of current research and new findings in this rapidly growing field of cardiovascular medicine. All reviews are thoroughly peer-reviewed before publication.
