Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) refers to the fat depot that exists on the surface of the myocardium and is contained entirely beneath the pericardium, thus surrounding and in direct contact with the major coronary arteries and their branches.

2022年3月16日 · Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a unique fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral layer of the epicardium, with multiple implications for research and clinical...

Interest in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is growing rapidly, and research in this area appeals to a broad, multidisciplinary audience. EAT is unique in its anatomy and unobstructed proximity to the heart and has a transcriptome and secretome very different from that of other fat depots.

2025年2月3日 · Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is visceral fat localized between the myocardium and the visceral layer of pericardium directly surrounding the coronary arteries and getting its blood supply from their branches. 4, 5 EAT has a protective function in normal conditions: providing the myocardium with free fatty acids and functioning as a buffer, protecting the heart …

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular events and a promising new therapeutic target in CVDs.

The epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is the visceral fat that deposits between the visceral pericardium and the myocardium and has direct contact with the myocardium and coronary artery (3). It usually presents as a white adipose tissue, but it …

2019年11月28日 · Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is part of the visceral adipose tissue (VAT) that surrounds the heart and it is a quantifiable, modifiable, and multifaceted tissue that has both local and systemic effects.

Epicardial adipose tissue is an unusual visceral fat depot with anatomical and functional contiguity to the myocardium and coronary arteries. Under physiological conditions, epicardial adipose tissue displays biochemical, mechanical and thermogenic cardioprotective properties.

2025年1月29日 · The role of pericardial adipose tissue has been investigated in numerous studies in relation to the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) and other cardiac pathologies. Total pericardial fat (TPF) consists of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), which is located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, and pericardial fat (PCF ...

2011年11月1日 · Epicardial adipose tissue is an unusual visceral fat depot with anatomical and functional contiguity to the myocardium and coronary arteries. Under physiological conditions, epicardial adipose tissue displays biochemical, mechanical …
