Guan B, Liu L, Li X, et al. - Via this systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers examined the link between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and blood pressure. They identified relevant studies from Pubmed, Embase, and Web of Science. They included studies that described the difference of EAT thickness between hypertensive and normotensive patients, or those documented odds ratios between EAT and hypertension. Higher EAT thickness near the right ventricular wall was observed in patients with hypertension, and there might be a high risk of non-dipper blood pressure in relation to increased EAT thickness.
