EFV epicardial fat volume, CAD coronary artery disease, OR odds ratio, BMI body mass index, LV left ventricular, EF ejection fraction, CCC coronary collateral circulation

*Patients were divided into lower (< 25 kg/m2) and higher (≥ 25 kg/m2) BMI groups

#Patients were divided into groups according to their coronary atherosclerosis severity: mild (score = 3 vessels), moderate (3.5 ≤ score < 4 vessels), and severe (4 ≤ score ≤ 7 vessels)
