There is also a lot of evidence of the influence of both non-drug methods and drugs on the severity and functional activity of epicardial adipose tissue, which can be considered as a potentially modifiable factor of cardiovascular risk, the various therapeutic interventions target and a criterion for their effectiveness. Its unique characteristics suggest the advisability of pharmacological strategies aimed at regulating the expression of genes encoding the secretion of adipocytokines and adipocyte function, and a dynamic assessment of the severity of epicardial fat during therapy can be a tool to evaluate its effectiveness in various cardiovascular diseases.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>В настоящее время имеются убедительные доказательства взаимосвязи эпикардиальной жировой ткани с наличием и тяжестью течения различных вариантов ишемической болезни сердца, развитием гипертрофии, нарушением диастолической и систолической функции левого желудочка, увеличением, фиброзом и электрофизиологическим ремоделированием предсердий, возникновением и тяжестью наджелудочковых нарушений ритма сердца. Также получено немало доказательств влияния как немедикаментозных методов, так и лекарственных препаратов на выраженность и функциональную активность эпикардиальной жировой ткани, которая может рассматриваться как потенциально модифицируемый фактор сердечно-сосудистого риска, цель различных терапевтических вмешательств и критерий их эффективности. Уникальные ее характеристики предполагают целесообразность фармакологических стратегий, направленных на регуляцию экспрессии генов, кодирующих секрецию адипоцитокинов и функцию адипоцитов, а динамическая оценка показателей выраженности эпикардиального жира на фоне терапии может стать инструментом оценки ее эффективности при различных сердечно-сосудистых заболеваниях.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эпикардиальная жировая ткань</kwd><kwd>толщина эпикардиального жира</kwd><kwd>сердечно-сосудистый риск</kwd><kwd>сердечно-сосудистые заболевания</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>epicardial adipose tissue</kwd><kwd>epicardial fat thickness</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular risk</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular diseases</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Чумакова Г.А., Кузнецова Т.Ю., Дружилов М.А., Веселовская Н.Г.
