“…Of these four studies, only one found a significant positive correlation ( r = 0.469, P value < 0.01) . The three other studies found insufficient evidence of any correlation between the amount of weight lost post intervention and the amount of EAT reduction ( r = 0.05, P value = 0.83 ; r = 0.22, P value = 0.5 ; r = 0.14, P value = 0.53 ).…”

“…Eight of the 12 intervention approaches resulted in a statistically significant reduction in EAT as reported in the original publication. Two studies found insufficient evidence of a reduction in EAT . One study reported a statistically significant difference in the reduction in EAT for an exercise intervention ( n = 7) compared to a control group ( n = 8) despite the exercise group itself failing to show a statistically significant reduction.…”

The objectives were to determine whether epicardial fat (EAT) is subject to modification, and whether various strategies accomplish this end point and the relationship between weight loss and EAT. A systematic review of the literature following meta-analysis guidelines was conducted using the search strategy 'epicardial fat' OR 'epicardial adipose tissue' AND 'diet' OR 'exercise' OR 'bariatric surgery (BS)' OR 'change in body weight' limited to humans. Eleven articles were identified with 12 intervention approaches of which eight studies showed a statistically significant reduction in EAT. A random-effects meta-analysis suggests an overall significant reduction of 1.12 standardized units (95% CI = [-1.71, -0.54], P value < 0.01). While there is a large amount of heterogeneity across study groups, a substantial amount of this variability can be accounted for by considering intervention type and change in body mass index (BMI). These variables were incorporated into a random-effects meta-regression model. Using this analysis, significant EAT reduction occurred with diet and BS but not with exercise. BMI reductions correlated significantly with EAT reductions for diet-based interventions, i.e. for some but not all interventions. In conclusion, EAT, a factor that is significantly associated with coronary artery disease, can be modified. The type of intervention, in addition to the amount of weight loss achieved, is predictive of the amount of EAT reduction.
