Obesity is associated with the development of heart failure and is a major risk factor for heart
failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a unique …

Background Left ventricular (LV) strain measurements can be derived using cardiac MRI
from routinely acquired balanced steady‐state free precession (bSSFP) cine images …

Background Dysregulated epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may contribute to the
development of heart failure in Type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study aimed to evaluate the …
