Morphometric Characterization of Human Coronary Veins and Subvenous Epicardial Adipose Tissue—Implications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Leads

Morphometric Characterization of Human Coronary Veins and Subvenous Epicardial Adipose Tissue—Implications for Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Leads

Subvenous epicardial fat tissue (SEAT), which acts as an electrical insulation, and the venous diameter (VD) both constitute histomorphological challenges for optimal application and lead design in cardiac synchronization therapy (CRT). In this study, we characterized the morphology of human coronar...
