Epicardial, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Obesity is common in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and adipose tissue (AT) plays a key role in its pathophysiology. We examined the distribution and association of visceral AT (VAT), subcutaneous AT (SAT) and epicardial AT (EAT) in HFpEF using multimodality imaging.
