Abstract
Given its anatomical contiguity to the heart, epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been suggested to directly impact the coronary arteries as a source of bioactive mediators of inflammation and atherosclerosis. As several studies have indicated a relationship between EAT and chronic coronary atherosclerosis, we questioned whether EAT also predicted cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to determine the association between EAT, markers of cardiovascular risk, and recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients presenting with a successfully revascularized first ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
