Epicardial fat

Tela adiposa epicardii

Definition

Antoine Micheau

Epicardial fat is the visceral adipose tissue located between the outer wall of the myocardium and the visceral layer of the pericardium, within the pericardial sac and in direct anatomical and functional contiguity with the myocardium and coronary arteries.
