dc.description.abstractIntroduction Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), the visceral fat surrounding the heart between the myocardium and visceral pericardium, intersects with Type 1 diabetes (T1D). This review aims to elucidate the intricate association between EAT and childhood T1D.Materials and methods In this retrospective study, two pediatric groups were involved children with type 1 diabetes, and healthy children. Epicardial fat thickness was measured appropriately, and the study documented HbA1c levels and time to diabetes diagnosis for comprehensive analysis.Results Encompassing 51 children with T1D and 69 healthy controls, revealed that children with type 1 diabetes had a mean HbA1c level of 9.4 +/- 0.2, and a mean insulin dose of 0.94 units/kg/day. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) values were significantly higher in the Type 1 DM group. It has been shown that epicardial fat thickness may have a specific and sensitive value in type 1 diabetics.Discussion The increased presence of epicardial fat tissue in children with type 1 diabetes is highlighted, prompting the consideration of various mechanisms. However, the complexity of this relationship underscores the need for further studies to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying factors. Ongoing research in this area is crucial for advancing our knowledge and potential therapeutic interventions.Impacts Cardiac complications are one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in people with type 1 diabetes. Being able to detect cardiological complications of diabetes at an early stage contributes to morbidity. We found that epicardial fat tissue thickness was thicker in children with type 1 diabetes than in healthy children. Epicardial fat tissue thickness may be associated with poor control in children with type 1 diabetes and maybe a guide in terms of cardiac risks.en_US
