    measurement of fat layer between heart muscle and pericardium

    Epicardial Fat Thickness (EFT) refers to the measurement of the layer of fat located between the outer wall of the heart (the myocardium) and the visceral layer of the pericardium. This fat layer is significant because it can influence heart function and is associated with cardiovascular risk factors such as coronary artery disease and metabolic syndrome.
