In this issue of the European Journal of Internal Medicine, Calcaterra et al. wrote one of the most comprehensive reviews of Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) [1]. In contrast to past dithyrambic EAT reviews, Calcaterra et al. provide the reader with a thorough and pertinent understanding of EAT standing in Cardiometabolic Medicine. Starting with a detailed outline of adipose tissue (AT) including white, brown, and beige adipocytes, Calcaterra et al. discuss various AT depots including subcutaneous AT (SAT), visceral AT (VAT) and other ectopic AT depots like EAT.
