Figure 2From: Validation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of pericardial adipose tissue volumeCMR evaluation of pericardial adipose tissue. Volumetric assessment: 3 traces, myo-epicardial border, viscero-parietal pericardial border and outer paracardial margin each subtending areas of epicardial and paracardial (and subsequently pericardial) areas which can then be converted to volumes. Thickness assessment: adipose tissue thickness measured at the midpoint of the right ventricular free wall on the mid chamber short axis image. Epicardial (A) and paracardial (B) thickness measurements depicted above.Back to article page
