Overview

Increased EFT may flag higher-risk angina despite normal coronaries; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with increased epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and normal epicardial coronary arteries
O
Outcome
angina, recurrent hospitalisation and adverse outcomes

Increased epicardial fat thickness is associated with a higher risk of angina and adverse outcomes, independent of epicardial coronary artery disease.
