What is it about?
Investigating the impacts of visceral obesity and epicardial adipose tissue thickness on the stimulating growth factor 2 evels during hospitalization after myocardial infarction is of paramount importance for predicting outcomes and assessing the development of cardiosclerotic changes associated

Why is it important?
This manuscript describes a study that aimed to assess the relationships between EAT thickness, adipokine profiles, and the ST2/interleukin (IL)-33 signaling system during hospitalization for MI, and the degree of cardiac fibrosis at 1-year post-MI in patients with visceral obesity.
Perspectives
The metabolic activity of EAT was associated with an increase in the IL-33 levels and a decrease in the ST2 levels. The degree of cardiac fibrosis was negatively related to the IL-33 levels and positively related to the ST2 levels.
