Figure 1 Measurement of epicardial fat volume; the electronic line delineates the contour of epicardiumin in noncontrast computed tomography.
Figure 2 Measurement of epicardial fat volume; the fat voxels were identified using threshold attenuation values (-30 to -190 HU) and the volume of epicardial fat is measures.
Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic curves compare the three parameters for measuring the epicardial fat.
AUC was 0.62 for EFV, 0.6 for EFVBMI, and 0.61 for EFVBSA (non-significant pairwise comparison). EFV: Epicardial fat volume; EFVBMI: EFV indexed with body mass index; EFVBSA: EFV indexed with body surface area.
