multivariate regression analysis adjusted for age, BMI, CCS and number of cardiovascular risk factors; only serum biomarkers with a p-value <0.05 are listed.

EAT denotes epicardial adipose tissue; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1; PAI-1, endothelial plasminogen activator inhibitor 1; sICAM-1, soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1; VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1
