EAT mass assessment. (A) Example of quantification of EAT mass. Manual tracing was performed from the pulmonary artery bifurcation (superior limit) to the PDA (inferior limit), and the adipose tissue within the pericardium was automatically recognized by the software as tissue with Hounsfield Units (HU) between −195 and −45. (B) Histograms of frequencies of EAT mass. Median value of EAT mass in study cohort was 67 g. EAT, epicardial adipose tissue; PDA, posterior descending coronary artery.
