Cardiac computed tomography-derived epicardial fat volume and attenuation independently distinguish patients with and without myocardial infarction.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is associated with coronary plaque burden and adverse events. We aimed to determine, whether CT-derived EAT attenuation in addition to EAT volume distinguishes patients with and without myocardial infarction.In 94 patients with confirmed or suspected coronary a...
