CMR—quantified epicardial adipose tissue heterogeneity and its predictive value for ventricular and atrial arrhythmias after myocardial infarction

EAT heterogeneity, quantified by entropy, is an independent predictor of both VAs and AAs in post-MI patients. This novel imaging biomarker may enhance risk stratification and guide therapeutic strategies in this high-risk population.

Abstract

EAT heterogeneity, quantified by entropy, is an independent predictor of both VAs and AAs in post-MI patients. This novel imaging biomarker may enhance risk stratification and guide therapeutic strategies in this high-risk population.
