Abstract
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is increased in HIV-infected patients. EAT may contribute to coronary artery atherosclerosis via paracrine secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, playing a role in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of the study was to evaluate EAT-associated factors and the relationship between EAT and occult CVD and predictors of EAT change over time.
