A modifiable imaging biomarker: epicardial adipose tissue density in ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries
EAT density is an independent risk factor for INOCA, with its increase showing a linear association with INOCA risk. Further, statin use was associated with a reduction in this EAT density-related INOCA risk.
