• Body Fat Distribution, Incident Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, and All-cause Mortality (2013, positive): “Cross-sectional studies have demonstrated associations between ectopic fat and CVD and cancer (1,2), but few prospective studies are available (6–9,13).”
• Echocardiographic epicardial fat: a review of research and clinical applications. (2009, background): “Pericardial fat volume is also defined as any adipose tissue located within the pericardial sac, described as the border between pericardial and intrathoracic fat.(27,28) Epicardial and pericardial fat have different embryologic origins.”
• Pathophysiology of human visceral obesity: an update. (2013, background): “These findings particularly highlight the need to go beyond body weight and BMI and take into account adipose tissue distribution in evaluating CHD risk.”
