Overview

Meta-analysis shows elevated epicardial adipose tissue raises ischemic stroke risk in individuals with cardiovascular comorbidities, indicating need for risk evaluation.

Key Points

  • Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness correlates with higher odds of acute ischemic stroke.
  • Analysis resulted in pooled odds ratios indicating significant risks, with aOR of 3.60 for higher EAT thickness.
  • Meta-analysis included eight studies with a total of 7412 participants, focusing on cardiovascular comorbidities.
  • Findings suggest epicardial adipose tissue assessment may enhance stroke risk stratification in clinical settings.
