Implication

Plasma biomarkers may miss persistent local EAT inflammation; hypothesis-generating for targeted therapies in high-risk patients.

Structured PICO

P
Population
High-risk cardiac patients
O
Outcome
Presence of inflammatory mediators in epicardial adipose tissuesurrogate

Local inflammation in epicardial adipose tissue is not reflected by systemic biomarkers or eliminated by current therapies in high-risk cardiac patients.
