Increases in epicardial adipose tissue thickness are associated with cardiac fibrosis development 1-year post-myocardial infarction and are higher in patients with visceral obesity. The metabolic activity of the epicardial adipose tissue is associated with elevated interleukin-33 and reduced stimulating growth factor 2 levels.
