          Abstract

          Increased epicardial fat volume (EFV) has been shown to be associated with coronary atherosclerosis. While it is postulated to be an independent risk factor, a possible mechanism is local or systemic inflammation. We analyzed the relationship between coronary atherosclerosis, quantified by coronary calcium in CT, epicardial fat volume and systemic inflammation.
