Epicardial Adipose Tissue Reflects the Presence of Coronary Artery Disease: Comparison with Abdominal Visceral Adipose Tissue

Figure 2

Association of eEAT and coronary arteriosclerotic changes. (a) Correlation between EAT areas assessed by CT and eEAT thickness assessed by echocardiogram. Each point represents the value of the patient. Subjects () who showed more than 1.5 mm thickness of eEAT were used in this analysis. (b) Prevalence of CC between patients with and without the presence of eEAT. CC (−) indicates non-CC. CC (+) indicates the presence of CC. (c) Prevalence of CP between patients with and without the presence of eEAT. CP (−) indicates non-CP. CP (+) indicates the presence of CP.
