Volumetric Assessment of Epicardial Adipose Tissue With Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging

OBJECTIVE: Previous studies determined the amount of epicardial fat by measuring the right ventricular epicardial fat thickness. However, it is not proven whether this one-dimensional method correlates well with the absolute amount of epicardial fat. In this prospective study, a new cardiovascular m...
