The comparison of EAT thickness according to SYNTAX score.

	High SYNTAX Score (>32) (n: 13)	Intermediate SYNTAX Score (23–32) (n: 15)	Low SYNTAX Score (<22) (n: 20)
EAT vertical (cm)	0.62±0.34	0.48±0.21	0.34±0.32
	p: 0.01*	p: 0.02*	p: 0.29
EAT horizontal (cm)	2.75±0.45	2.39±0.44	2.45±0.70

EAT – epicardial adipose tissue thickness; SYNTAX – Synergy between PCI with Taxus and Cardiac Surgery.
