Fig. 1From: Association between epicardial adipose tissue and incident heart failure mediating by alteration of natriuretic peptide and myocardial strainLocalization and measurement of epicardial adipose tissue. A Epicardial adipose tissue lies between the myocardium and visceral pericardium. B Epicardial adipose tissue thickness was measured perpendicularly on the free wall of the right ventricle at the mid-ventricular level. EAT, epicardial adipose tissue; RV, right ventricle; RA, right atrium; LV, left ventricle; LA, left atriumBack to article page
