E02: Adipose Tissue and Cardiovascular Disease - Konstantinos C. Koskinas
from AtheroVoice · host Hellenic Atherosclerosis Society
In this AtheroVoice episode, we interview Prof. Konstantinos C. Koskinas on “Crosstalk Between Adipose Tissue and the Cardiovascular System.” Together, we unpack how adipose tissue functions as an active endocrine organ, shaping inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular tone, atherosclerosis, and arrhythmias. The discussion highlights adipose quality vs quantity, the roles of perivascular and epicardial fat, key mediators of the adipose secretome (adipokines, microRNAs, gasotransmitters), and what’s most promising for clinical translation in prevention and therapy.--------------------------------------------------------------------Script-prep: Fotios BarkasInterviewer: Fotios Barkas
