Association of Increased Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness With Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation.

Subgroup analysis, which focused only on patients with a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 0 for males (n = 19) and 1 for females (n = 6), was performed and EAT thickness could further identify CV events in males with a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 0 (IDI 0.13, 95% CI 0.05–0.21, P = 0.002) and showed a trend in further identifying CV events in females with a CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score of 1 (IDI 0.10, 95% CI -0.01–0.20, P = 0.056), when compared with a Cox model containing CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc score, LAVI, LVEF, and E/E′.
