Abstract:Background and AimsThis study examines the relationships between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) using non‐ECG‐gated CT scans. It aims to determine the effectiveness of EAT measurements and NAFLD as predictors for coronary artery disease (CAD).MethodsThis cross‐sectional study was conducted at a specialized center, focusing on individuals who underwent non‐ECG‐gated chest CT scans without contrast. We evaluated EAT thickness an… Show more
