Abstract 12088: Low Computed Tomography Attenuation Value of Epicardial Fat is a Useful Marker for Coronary Stenosis
Abstract
Background: Epicardial fat volume (EFV) is recognized as an independent risk factor for coronary atherosclerosis. However, it remains unclear whether the computed tomography (CT) attenuation value of epicardial fat is associated with coronary stenosis. Methods: We analyzed the association of epicardial fat CT attenuation value (EFCTA) and EFV with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in 355 patients (203 men; mean age, 68 ± 11 years) who...
