• Echocardiographic epicardial fat: a review of research and clinical applications. (2009, background): “However, epicardial fat thickness is inversely related to plasma adiponectin levels, an adipokine with specific anti-inflammatory and antiatherogenic properties.(56) Lower plasma adiponectin levels are associated with higher cardiovascular risk.”
