Targeting epicardial adipose tissue: A potential therapeutic strategy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction with type 2 diabetes mellitus

Figure 1 Anatomical location of epicardial adipose tissue. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is situated between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium. In normal adults, EAT usually accompanies the coronary arteries and their major epicardial branches, mainly concentrated in the interventricular and atrioventricular grooves, with lesser amounts covering the atria, the free wall of the right ventricle, and the apex.
