Overview

Review reveals inflammation and epicardial adipose tissue influence atrial fibrillation outcomes, suggesting EAT may be a therapeutic target.

Key Points

  • Epicardial adipose tissue contributes to atrial fibrillation by promoting inflammation and myocardial changes.
  • Key proinflammatory cytokines in epicardial adipose tissue lead to cardiomyocyte apoptosis and fibrosis.
  • Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness and volume serve as important biomarkers for atrial fibrillation risk.
  • Understanding the mechanisms of inflammation-related epicardial adipose tissue may enhance atrial fibrillation diagnosis and treatment.
