on inner surface of ventricles

around coronary vessels

around tricuspid valve

around mitral valve

  1. The cardiac skeleton (totally serious) where the coronary arteries and veins run, (where the valves are and where the atria meet the ventricles) its all the same place, so pick the term(s) that are convenient for you. Around the coronary vessels ... the outside of the heart can have lots of fat on it in this area.


  2. in heart it is mainly in walls of coronary arteries and veins.

  3. Fats is deposited on pericardium membrane& heart become larger.

  4. When you say body fat I am assuming you mean the fatty deposits that accumulate on the inside of artery walls and eventually lead to coronary artery disease.

    The first place these deposits are detectable is, I believe, in the aortic arch, and deposits can be found there in surprisingly young children.

    Blockage of the coronary arteries in later life, due to their relatively small diameter, leads to areas of heart muscle being deprived of oxygen and causes angina (chest pain) and possible heart attacks.

  5. In the heart fat is not there it is only along the walls of the veins.

    They are blocked by fatty deposits if your heart tends to be more pathetic towards fats.

    So EAT NOT TO UR HEART'S DESIRE.

  6. adipose tissue
