Echocardiographic epicardial fat: a review of research and clinical applications. (2009, methodology): “Epicardial fat thickness can be visualized and measured with two-dimensional (2D) echocardiography using commercially available equipment, as first proposed and validated by Iacobellis et al.(45,46) Standard parasternal long-axis and short-axis views from 2D images permit the most accurate measureme”
