Abstract
Cardiac adipose tissue is a metabolically active adipose tissue in close proximity to heart. Recent studies emphasized the benefits of cardiac adipose tissue in heart remodeling, such as reducing infarction size, enhancing neovascularization and regulating immune response, through a series of cellular mechanisms. In the present manuscript, we provide a comprehensive review regarding the role of cardiac adipose tissue in cardiac repair. We focus on different cardiac adipose tissues according to their distinguished anatomical structures. This review summarizes the latest evidence on the relationship between cardiac adipose tissue and cardiac repair. Cardiac adipose tissues (CAT) were systematically reviewed in the current manuscript which focused on the components of CAT, debates about cardiac adipose stem cells and their effect on heart.
