“…Various parameters were compared with epicardial fat thickness and promising results were obtained. The group with proven CAD had higher mean EFT as compared to normal individuals which is consistent with multiple studies worldwide [22] [23] [24]. Although age being an important predictor of CAD, no such result was obtained in our study.…”

“…Эпикардиальную жировую ткань определяли как эхонегативное пространство между свободной стенкой миокарда правого желудочка и висцеральным листком перикарда перпендикулярно свободной стенке правого желудочка в В-режиме [6]. Измерения проводили в течение 3-х сердечных циклов, за значение показателя тЭЖТ принимали среднее из 3-х последовательных величин.…”
