  Fig. 1. Measurement of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volumes with multislice CT. a 3D image. EAT area was measured on each axial image from the lower surface of left pulmonary artery origin to the left ventricular apex, and total EAT volume was obtained from multiplying total EAT areas by the slice thickness. b Axial images. A region of interest (ROI) was manually placed along the visceral pericardium (left and middle panel). EAT was extracted on an axial image (green) (right panel)

  Fig. 2. The correlation between the change in EAT volume and those in body weight or inflammatory marker (TNF-α). a A positive significant correlation was observed between the changes in EAT volume and body weight. b A positive significant correlation was observed between the changes in EAT volume and TNF-α level
