Abstract
Epicardial adipose tissue is a unique visceral adipose tissue depot that plays a crucial role in myocardial metabolism. Epicardial adipose tissue is a major source of energy and free fatty acids for the adjacent myocardium. However, under pathological conditions, epicardial fat can affect the heart through the excessive and abnormal influx of lipids. The cardio-lipotoxicity of the epicardial adipose tissue is complex and involves different pathways, such as increased inflammation, the infiltration of lipid intermediates such as diacylglycerol and ceramides, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress, ultimately leading to cardiomyocyte dysfunction and coronary artery ischemia. These changes can contribute to the pathogenesis of various cardio-metabolic diseases including atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, heart failure, and obstructive sleep apnea. Hence, the role of the cardio-lipotoxicity of epicardial fat and its clinical implications are discussed in this review.

期刊介绍：
Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal focusing on biogenic substances and their biological functions, structures, interactions with other molecules, and their microenvironment as well as biological systems. Biomolecules publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
