Excerpt

Intrathoracic fat volume (ITFV) is a reproducible imaging biomarker and has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction. Relationships between ITFV and adverse left ventricular remodeling of the non-infarcted myocardium are unknown. We explored the relationship between ITFV and 4D myocardial strain-based markers of adverse remodeling in the non-infarcted myocardium of patients with known or suspected CAD. …
