【摘要】 心外膜脂肪组织(epicardial adipose tissue，EAT)在心血管疾病(cardiovascular disease，CVD)发展过程中起着重要作用，最近EAT越来越受到关注。EAT是位于心肌和心外膜内脏层之间的一个独特脂肪库，它是一种可量化的、可改变的组织，具有局部和全身效应的脂肪组织。EAT在一定程度参与心房颤动(atrial fibrillation，AF)、冠心病(coronary heart disease，CHD)、心力衰竭(heart failure，HF)的发生发展。在这篇综述中，将讨论EAT的解剖结构和生理功能以及与心血管疾病的关系，还讨论了EAT的测量方法和干预EAT的治疗方法。

    [Abstract] Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently， EAT has attracted more and more attention. EAT is a unique fat pool between the heart muscle and the visceral layer of the epicardium. It is a quantifiable and changeable tissue with local and systemic effects. EAT is involved in the occurrence and development of atrial fibrillation (AF)， coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart failure (HF) to a certain extent. In this review， we will discuss the anatomical structure and physiological function of EAT and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases ......
