Sex differences in the association between epicardial adipose tissue volume and left atrial volume index

Abstract Background Sex disparities in the association between epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) and cardiovascular disease have been reported. The sex-dependent effects of EATV on left atrial (LA) size have not been elucidated. Methods Consecutive 247 subjects (median 65 [interquartile range...
