Relationship between epicardial adipose tissue thickness and epicardial adipocyte size with increasing body mass index

Relationship between epicardial adipose tissue thickness and epicardial adipocyte size with increasing body mass index

Macroscopic deposition of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been strongly associated with numerous indices of obesity and cardiovascular disease risk. In contrast, the morphology of EAT adipocytes has rarely been investigated. We aimed to determine whether obesity-driven adipocyte hypertrophy, whi...
