Simple Summary Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading causes of death
worldwide. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is one of the most important risk factors for …

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) represents the fat depot located between the myocardium
and the visceral pericardial layer. Far from being an inert tissue, EAT has been recognized …

Obesity is a modifiable cardiovascular risk factor, but adipose tissue (AT) depots in humans
are anatomically, histologically, and functionally heterogeneous. For example, visceral AT is …

Adipose tissue (AT) is no longer viewed as a passive, energy-storing depot, and a growing
body of evidence supports the concept that both quantitative and qualitative aspects of AT …

Classic concepts about the role of epicardial adipose tissue (EpAT) in heart physiology
include its role in cardiac metabolism, mechanical protection of coronaries, innervation and …
