Association between omentin-1 expression in human epicardial adipose tissue and coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]
, 2016 BACKGROUND: Omentin-1, a novel adipocytokine mainly expressed in visceral adipose tissue, has been found to inhibit the inflammatory response and improve insulin resistance as well as other obesity-related disorders.

Pericoronary adipose tissue: potential for pathological diagnosis and therapeutic applications
Cardiovascular Intervention and TherapeuticsExcessive accumulation of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is known to be a risk factor for coronary artery disease and heart failure. In particular, it is thought that inflammation of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) affects the pathology of various coronary artery diseases (CAD).

A new insight on imaging characteristics of pericoronary adipose tissue for cardiovascular risk
Cardiovascular UltrasoundCardiovascular events caused by atherosclerotic plaque are the leading causes of death worldwide. The change in pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) can dynamically reflect the inflammation activity of coronary artery ...

Pericoronary adipose tissue differences among plaque types: a retrospective assessment Abstract
, 2022 Abstract Purpose: To assess differences in pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) in patients with different plaque types by using several quantitative parameters of PCAT and investigate the relationship between PCAT and different plaque types.Methods: We retrospectively recruited 488 patients diagnosed with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) via
