High EAT Volume Increases Risk of Major Adverse Events When Assessed With a Single Cutpoint
Utilizing a single cutpoint for patients considered at high risk in SCOT-HEART (high risk = EAT ≥169.9 cm3), Kaplan-Meier curves for (A) fatal/nonfatal MI, (B) fatal/nonfatal stroke, (C) noncardiac mortality, and (D) all-cause mortality are demonstrated. All HRs are adjusted for age, sex, BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, CAC score (log-transformed) and obstructive CAD as derived from CCTA. Abbreviations as in Figures 1, 2, 5, and 6.
