Core Tip	Thin cap fibroatheromas (TCFAs) are the most common underlying substrate in patients suffering acute coronary thrombotic events. Recently, an interesting association between TCFAs and a particular depot of visceral fat called epicardial adipose tissue has been suggested. In this study, we review some basic and clinical aspects of behind this interesting association as well as the value of optical coherence tomography in the diagnosis of TCFAs.
