Figure 2From: The influence of pericardial fat upon left ventricular function in obese females: evidence of a site-specific effectPericardial fat distribution. (a) The average volume of pericardial fat was 126.1 ± 71.0 ml. More (p < 0.001) pericardial fat was observed around the right ventricle (54.4 ± 24.5 ml) than the left ventricle (29.9 ± 16.0 ml). (b) The fat depots surrounding the two ventricles are highly correlated in volume (r = 0.86, p < 0.001).Back to article page
