Exploring the interplay between epicardial fat, coronary artery calcium score, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease through non‐ECG‐gated chest computed tomography: A cross‐sectional study
Our findings demonstrate that increased EAT thickness and decreased density are associated with higher CACS. Also, both DM and HTN significantly contribute to increased CACS. These results support the inclusion of EAT measurements in cardiovascular risk assessment models to enhance diagnostic accuracy.
