Predicting mortality and no-reflow in STEMI patients using epicardial adipose tissue.
Amr MohamedPublished in: Clinical cardiology (2021)
Increased EAT thickness may be an independent predictor of the no-reflow phenomenon and mortality. Therefore, our study emphasizes that EAT thickness measured by echocardiography may provide additional and substantial information on the risk of no-reflow and mortality in STEMI patients.
