Association of pericardial adipose tissue with left ventricular structure and function: a region‐specific effect?

Association of pericardial adipose tissue with left ventricular structure and function: a region‐specific effect?

Abstract Background The independent role of pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) as an ectopic fat associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial. This study aimed to determine whether PAT is associated with left ventricular (LV) structure and function independent of other markers of...
