Epicardial adipose tissue was higher in patients with HF than in the control group, and Epicardial adipose tissue was a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. In patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, increased Epicardial adipose tissue means that Epicardial adipose tissue can be used as a biomarker of inflammation in the pathophysiology of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
