Overview

Review examines bedside epicardial adipose tissue assessment for cardiometabolic evaluation, highlighting its value in advanced adipose phenotyping.

Key Points

  • To review bedside methods for assessing epicardial adipose tissue and evaluate their role in modern cardiovascular and metabolic phenotyping.
  • Synthesized clinical applications of bedside imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, for quantifying epicardial adipose tissue.
  • Evaluated the relationship between bedside adipose tissue measurements and advanced noninvasive phenotyping markers.
  • Bedside ultrasound provides an accessible, noninvasive measure of epicardial adipose tissue thickness that correlates with visceral fat burden.
  • Integrating bedside epicardial fat measurement into standard protocols improves individualized cardiometabolic risk stratification without requiring advanced imaging suites.
