Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume Axnd Radiodensity With Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients With HFpEF

Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume Axnd Radiodensity With Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients With HFpEF

Recruiting patients who were diagnosed with HFpEF. Using Non-contrast CT to measure the total Agatston coronary artery calcification score, epicardial adipose tissue volume and attenuation. Analysing the correlation between them.

The study enrolled patients who were diagnosed with HFpEF and admitted to the Cardiology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University. Using Non-contrast CT to measure the total Agatston coronary artery calcification score, epicardial adipose tissue volume and attenuation. Finally, analysing the correlation between them.
