Why the study?
Do epicardial adipose tissue and pericoronary fat thickness measured with 64-multidetector computed tomography predict the severity of coronary artery disease?
Do epicardial adipose tissue and pericoronary fat thickness measured with 64-multidetector computed tomography predict the severity of coronary artery disease?
Epicardial adipose tissue and pericoronary fat thickness measured by 64-slice CT may serve as non-invasive predictors of obstructive coronary artery disease.
Associated with obstructive CAD on CT; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
We showed that the epicardial adipose tissue and pericoronary fat thickness scores were higher in patients with obstructive coronary artery diseases.
