visceral fat. Rather than having distinct boundaries, the epicardium shares an unobstructed …

Epicardial fat plays a role in cardiovascular diseases. Because of its anatomic and functional
proximity to the myocardium and its intense metabolic activity, some interactions between …

Obesity and diabetes are strongly associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disorders
including dyslipidemia, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and heart failure. Adipose …

Obesity (especially visceral adiposity) can be associated with 3 different phenotypes of heart
failure: heart failure with a reduced ejection fraction, heart failure with a preserved ejection …
