Epicardial fat thickness differences by AF type and HF status may aid phenotyping; leaves open prospective validation for risk prediction or therapy.
Does echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness differ between patients with permanent versus paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, and by the presence of heart failure?
