Quantification of epicardial fat volume using low-dose cardiac scan in patients with low calcium score

We investigated the accuracy of quantifying epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) using low-dose cardiac scan (EATV ) and evaluated its clinical utility in predicting coronary heart disease in patients with low or mild calcification. In total, 204 patients with clinical symptoms of coronary heart...
