| Abstract | Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a unique fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral layer of pericardium. It can be further subdivided into pericoronary (PCAT), periatrial (PAAT) and periventricular adipose tissue (PVentAT), each of them exhibiting specific characteristics and association with the underlying tissue. Since no physical barrier separates EAT from the myocardium, this fat tissue can easily interact with the underlying cardiac structure. EAT can be visualized using various imaging modalities. Computed tomography provides not only information on EAT volume, but also on its density. Indeed, EAT density reflected by the recently developed fat attenuation index (FAI) is emerging as a useful index of PCAT inflammation, PAAT inflammation and fibrosis, while the relevance of density of PVentAT is much less known. The emerging data indicates that FAI can be an important diagnostic and prognostic tool in both coronary artery disease and atrial fibrillation. Future studies will demonstrate if it also could be used as a marker of efficacy of therapies and whether FAI PVentAT could indicate ventricular pathologies, such as heart failure. The aim of the review is to present computed tomography derived FAI as an important tool both to study and better understand the epicardial fat and as a potential predictive marker in cardiovascular disorders. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
