Figure 4 The measurement of epicardial fat thickness (EFT) by echocardiography in a patient with atrial fibrillation. Epicardial fat appears as an echo-free space between the red dashed lines. (A) EFT measured during end-diastole in the parasternal long-axis view. (B) EFT measured during end-systole in the parasternal long-axis view. (C) EFT measured during end-diastole in the parasternal short-axis view. (D) EFT measured during end-systole in the parasternal short -axis view.
