Association of Volumetric Epicardial Adipose Tissue Quantification and Cardiac Structure and Function

Association of Volumetric Epicardial Adipose Tissue Quantification and Cardiac Structure and Function

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is in immediate apposition to the underlying myocardium and, therefore, has the potential to influence myocardial systolic and diastolic function or myocardial geometry, through paracrine or compressive mechanical effects. We aimed to review the association...
