Epicardial adipose tissue, intramyocardial fat and right heart morphology: histopathological analysis

Epicardial adipose tissue represents cardiometabolic risk factor. It is a fat deposit around the heart, predominantly over the right ventricle free wall and specially apex, posses the same microcirculation as myocardium, induces inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. accordine to recent studies with cardic imaging, intramyocardial fat was found in the right ventricle free wall in physiologic and pathophysiologic conditions, as the conective tissue between cardiomycytes.
