Early diagnostic value of carotid artery ultrasound parameters combined with epicardial adipose layer thickness in coronary heart disease

Figure 1 Correlation analysis of epicardial fat with carotid artery elasticity and carotid intima-media thickness. A: Epicardial fat (EAT) and the elasticity of the common carotid artery vascular stiffness correlation analysis; B: Correlation analysis between EAT and elastic coefficient indices of common carotid artery elasticity; C: Correlation analysis between EAT and pulse wave conduction velocity index of common carotid artery elasticity; D: Correlation analysis between EAT and carotid intima-media thickness. CIMT: Carotid intima-media thickness; β: Vascular stiffness; EP: Elastic coefficient; EAT: Epicardial fat layer thickness; PWV-β: Pulse wave conduction velocity.
