Impact of epicardial fat on coronary vascular function, cardiac morphology, and cardiac function in women with suspected INOCA
Taken together, these data do not support a measurable relationship between epicardial fat and coronary vascular dysfunction but do suggest that epicardial fat may be related to concentric remodelling and diastolic dysfunction in women with suspected INOCA. Prospective studies are needed to elucidate the long-term impact of epicardial fat in this patient population.
