Key result
In a small cohort of 34 elderly individuals, mean epicardial fat thickness was 5.4 mm and correlated with calf circumference, body weight, body surface area, lean mass, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter.
Epicardial fat thickness is highlighted as a promising cardiovascular risk factor requiring further in-depth studies.

Saraiva et al. (2021) conducted an editorial in Elderly without previous history of cerebrovascular or cardiac disease (n=34). Epicardial fat thickness was evaluated on Correlation between epicardial fat thickness and clinical, anthropometric, and echocardiographic variables. In a small cohort of 34 elderly individuals, mean epicardial fat thickness was 5.4 mm and correlated with calf circumference, body weight, body surface area, lean mass, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter.
