Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness for Risk Stratification of Patients With Heart Failure

Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness for Risk Stratification of Patients With Heart Failure

Background and AimsEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been shown to be involved in the pathogenesis and progression of heart failure (HF). In this study we aimed to explore the predictive value of echocardiographic EAT thickness on prognosis of a selected population of HF patients.MethodsThe patien...
