Overview

Systematic review reveals elevated epicardial adipose tissue relates to ischemic stroke risk in cardiovascular disease populations, suggesting a critical role in risk stratification.

Key Points

  • Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness significantly raises the odds of ischemic stroke by 3.60.
  • The comprehensive search included 711 studies, with 8 qualifying studies comprising 7412 participants.
  • Statistical analysis utilized pooled odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals with a binary random-effects model.
  • The findings highlight a crucial link between epicardial adipose tissue and stroke risk in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
