Why the study?
Does echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with known coronary artery disease?
Does echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with known coronary artery disease?
Echocardiographic measurement of epicardial fat thickness may serve as a non-invasive marker for the severity of coronary artery disease.
Hypothesis-generating for epicardial fat thickness as CAD severity marker; prospective validation required before clinical use.
Epicardial fat thickness was significantly correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with known coronary artery disease.
