Именно висцеральное ожирение этиопатогенетически ассоциировано с процессами кардиоваскулярного ремоделирования и развитием ожирением-обусловленных сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Методом, способным обеспечить лучшее прогнозирование кардиометаболического риска при ожирении, являются методы прямой оценки висцеральной жировой ткани, среди которых наиболее доступна диагностика эпикардиального ожирения на основании эхокардиографического определения толщины эпикардиального жира. В данной статье эхокардиографически определяемая толщина эпикардиального жира рассматривается в качестве возможного инструмента прогнозирования кардиоваскулярного риска у различных категорий пациентов с ожирением.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>A historical meaning of obesity verified by body mass index as an obligatory factor for cardiovascular risk, is being refuted during recent decades by the results from epidemiological and prospective studies. The visceral obesity itself is etiopathogenetically associated with the processes of cardiovascular remodeling and development of obesity-related cardiovascular diseases. Of the methods to help better predict cardiometabolic risk in obesity the direct assessment of visceral fat tissue are known, of those the most available is echocardiographic measurement of epicardial fat thickness. In the article, the echocardiographically defined epicardial fat thickness is regarded as possible instrument for prediction of cardiovascular risk in a variety of obese patients.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>висцеральное ожирение</kwd><kwd>эпикардиальная жировая ткань</kwd><kwd>толщина эпикардиального жира</kwd><kwd>сердечно-сосудистый риск</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>visceral obesity</kwd><kwd>epicardial adipous tissue</kwd><kwd>epicardial fat thickness</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular risk</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Pischon T, Boeing H, Hoffmann K et al.
