 Statin Therapy is Associated with Reduction of Epicardial Adipose Tissues and Coronary Plaque Volumes with Vulnerable Composition, Measured by Computed Tomography Angiography

Background: Increased coronary plaque volume and epicardialadipose-tissue (EAT) are independently predicting major-adversecardiovascular-events. This study evaluates the changes in EAT, total and composition-specific plaque-volume measured noninvasively by computed-tomography-angiography (CTA) in ... view more»
