Epicardial adipose tissue volume, compositional plaque progression, and vulnerability in nonobstructive coronary artery disease
In nonobstructive CAD, patients with high b-EAT volume tended to have a regression of total plaque volume, but a transformation into a vulnerable plaque phenotype during follow-up. Whether lifestyle changes may improve prognosis in nonobstructive CAD needs to be confirmed in larger trials.
