The main findings of the present study are: 1) There is an inter-patient variability of EAT remodeling after acute myocardial infarction; 2) EAT increase seems to be associated to post-infarct LV dilation and reduced systolic function; 3) EAT increase seems to be associated to reduced levels of IL-13; 4) IL-13 seems to favorably affect myocardial recovery as its increased levels are associated to higher LVEF. Here, IL13 is linked to acute myocardial infarction.
