Buss, Dirk Mueller, Mani Vembar, Mark Bryant, Hans-Ulrich Kauczor, Evangelos Giannitsis, Hugo A. Katus, Grigorios KorosoglouA: Patients with >1 plaque (group 3, n = 71) exhibit significantly higher epicardial adipose tissue (eCAT) volumes compared to patients without any plaque (group 1, n = 68) or only one plaque (group 2, n = 13). B/C: Analysis per tertiles reveals an increase of total plaque volume (A) and maximum coronary luminal narrowing (B) for higher eCAT (epicardial adipose tissue) volumes.
