Epicardial adipose tissue is a promising imaging biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis

Key Result

Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is a promising imaging biomarker for identifying subclinical atherosclerosis risk alongside Coronary Calcium Score.

Key Points

Epicardial adipose tissue may serve as a valuable imaging biomarker for identifying subclinical atherosclerosis.
Coronary Calcium Score shows significant relevance in assessing atherosclerosis risk among diverse populations.
Analysis highlights the potential of new biomarkers like EAT to improve cardiovascular risk assessment strategies.
Further studies are needed to establish the clinical utility of EAT as a consistent imaging biomarker.

Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) imaging

Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) is highlighted as a promising new imaging biomarker for subclinical atherosclerosis.

Abstract

Identifying markers to discriminate high and low-risk individuals better is essential. Coronary Calcium Score (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT), a new imaging biomarker, has shown considerable interest in the scientific community.
