Echocardiography may offer accessible epicardial adipose tissue assessment; leaves open direct validation against computed tomography before clinical adoption.
This letter highlights the advantages of echocardiography over computed tomography for measuring epicardial adipose tissue thickness and suggests future studies should compare both modalities.
Demırkol et al. (2014) conducted a letter in Hypertension. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness measurement was evaluated. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness assessment using both echocardiography and computed tomography is recommended for future studies to evaluate their correlation.
