Is echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness associated with coronary artery calcification - results from the CAESAR study?
There was an independent relationship between EFT and coronary artery calcification in Korean adults, suggesting that echocardiographic EFT might be an easily accessible tool for early detection of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.
These results strengthen the association of AGG repeats with CGG repeat stability and provide more accurate risk estimates of full mutation expansions for women with 45-90 repeat alleles.
