Epicardial fat volume and its association with cardiac arrhythmias in CT coronary angiography.

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the epicardial fat volume in cardiac computed tomography (CT), its relationship with cardiac arrhythmias, and its correlation with the coronary artery disease reporting and data system (CAD-RADS) score. Ninety-six patients who underwent CT coronary angiography (CTCA) were included in this study. Patient data, including demographic information, clinical history, and imaging data were collected retrospectively. Epicardial fat volume was quantified using a standardised algorithm, the CAD-RADS scoring system was applied to assess the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). Descriptive statistics, correlation analyses, and receiver operating characteristics methods were used. The study found a significant correlation between epicardial fat volume and CAD-RADS score ( In this study a volume of at least 123 cm
