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.
Epicardial fat thickness was significantly correlated with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with known coronary artery disease.
Jeong et al. (2007) studied this question.
