Abstract
Epicardial adipose tissue volume (EAT) is increased in HIV infected patients. EAT may contribute to coronary artery atherosclerosis via paracrine secretion of proinflammatory cytokines, plying 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.
