Abstract: Objective To evaluate the predictive value of epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥75 years, diabetes mellitus, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack, vascular disease, age 65-74 years, sex category) score risk groups. Methods A total of 158 consecutive patients (75 females, 83 males, mean age 70.8±6.3 years) admitted routinely for cardiologic control… Show more

“…Recent study has shown an association between CHA2DS2-VASc risk score and reperfusion failure after thrombolytic therapy in patients with STEMI 7 . Moreover, we showed that CHA2DS2-VASC score have been predicted AF following STEMI and associated with epicardial fat tissue 8,9 .…”

“…It has been previously reported that the presence of structural diseases such as mitral annular calcification and an increase in epicardial adipose tissue were associated with high CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc scores 9,10 . Additionally, the same studies also showed that echocardiographic left ventricular measurements were associated with high CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc scores.…”

“…Parallel results were attained by Chua et al [ 12 ] , based on a prospective study including 277 patients undergoing CABG and/or valve procedures. Moreover, we showed that CHA 2 DS 2 -VASC score have been predicting AF following ST-elevation myocardial infarction and associated with epicardial fat tissue and mitral annular calcification [ 13 - 15 ] . The data of the current study corroborate with the results of previous studies.…”
