Epicardial adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases: recent advances classified by research methodologies

Yujie Song,
Yanzhen Tan,

et al.

Abstract: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is located between the myocardium and visceral pericardium. The unique anatomy and physiology of the EAT determines its great potential in locally influencing adjacent tissues such as the myocardium and coronary arteries. Classified by research methodologies, this study reviews the latest research progress on the role of EAT in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), particularly in patients with metabolic disorders. Studies based on imaging techniques demonstrated that increased EAT am… Show more

“…The potential role of EAT as a source of stem cells, as well as imaging assessment, was also described. Due to its unique structure and features, the role of EAT has drawn researchers' attention in terms of metabolic and cardiovascular (CV) disorders [15], including coronary artery disease (CAD) [16,17], heart failure (HF) [18], or atrial fibrillation (AF) [19]. Most research concerns the relationship between adipose tissue and atherosclerosis.…”
