Zusammenfassung:To the editor We read the article Usefulness of the epicardial fat tissue thickness as a diagnostic criterion for geriatric patients with metabolic syndrome by Kaya, et al. The authors aimed to evaluate the epicardial fat tissue thickness （EFT） as a diagnostic criterion for geriatric patients with metabolic syndrome （MetS）. They concluded that EFT levels were higher in geriatric patients with MetS and can therefore be used as a diagnostic criterion for MetS.
