Alcohol abuse involves heart mass increment at the expense of epicardial fat. Epicardial fat mass and the content of intramuscular lipids are the highest in alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Since epicardial fat mass increase is in direct correlation with the elevation of lipid content in the heart muscle proper, detection of a large mass of epicardial fat at autopsy permits a conclusion on myocardial obesity.
酒精滥用会导致心脏质量增加,同时心外膜脂肪减少。酒精性心肌病患者的心外膜脂肪量和肌肉内脂质含量最高。由于心外膜脂肪量的增加与心肌中脂质含量的升高直接相关,因此在尸检时检测到大量的心外膜脂肪可以推断出心肌肥胖。
