背景：与体重指数(BMI)或腰围相比，腹部内脏组织过多(VAT)与冠心病(CAD)危险因素的相关性更强。然而，将增值税测量添加到冠心病危险因素中是否可以更好地评估冠心病进展的风险还没有得到充分的评估。方法和结果：这项前瞻性队列研究包括553名患有冠状动脉斑块的冠心病患者。
Background: Excess visceral abdominal tissue (VAT) is more strongly associated with risk factors of coronary artery disease (CAD) than body mass index (BMI) or waist circumference. However, whether adding VAT measurements to CAD risk factors provides better risk assessment for CAD progression has not been fully evaluated.Methods and results: This prospective cohort study comprised 553 CAD patients with coronary plaque with
