Epicardial fat volume, an independent risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events, had an incremental prognostic value to myocardial perfusion imaging in Chinese populations with suspected or known coronary artery disease with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction

Epicardial fat volume, an independent risk factor for major adverse cardiovascular events, had an incremental prognostic value to myocardial perfusion imaging in Chinese populations with suspected or known coronary artery disease with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction

BackgroundMost coronary artery disease (CAD) patients with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) experience a poor prognosis. Single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT)–myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI), a routine examination, is useful in assessing risk and predicting majo...
