Predictive Value of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness for Plaque Vulnerability in Left Coronary Arteries: Histological Evidence from 245 Sudden Cardiac Death Cases

Predictive Value of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness for Plaque Vulnerability in Left Coronary Arteries: Histological Evidence from 245 Sudden Cardiac Death Cases

<b>Background/Objectives:</b> Cardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of death, with atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability, rather than stenosis severity, playing a central role in acute coronary events. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has emerged as a key contributor to c...
