FIGURE 3. Impact Of Increased EAT On Aerobic Capacity.

FIGURE 3

(Left panel) Peak oxygen consumption (VO2; available from invasive exercise testing in 68 patients with EAT− and 55 patients with EAT+) is significantly reduced in patients with HFpEF and increased EAT (red) compared with patients without increased EAT (black). The impairment in peak VO42 was correlated with greater EAT (right panel). EAT = epicardial adipose tissue; HFpEF = heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
