EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE AND CORONARY ARTERY PLAQUE CHARACTERISTICS
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010 Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis. The association of EAT volume with type of coronary artery plaque on computed tomography angiography (CTA) is not known.Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and EAT volume measurement were performed on 214 consecutive patients (mean age 54+/-14 years ...

Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Cardiac Arrhythmias
Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2022 Obesity is associated with an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, including life-threatening ones. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is located deep under the visceral pericardium (epicardium) and is therefore in direct contact with the underlying myocardium.
