Clinical Trial: Epicardial Fat Tissue and Cardiometabolic Risk in Russian and Asian Populations

U.S., May 23 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07604610) titled 'Epicardial Fat Tissue and Cardiometabolic Risk in Russian and Asian Populations' on May 18.

Brief Summary: Visceral obesity is a well-established risk factor for the development of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Epicardial fat tissue (EFT) is located on the surface of the myocardium and may directly affect cardiac function and contribute to structural and functional remodeling.

According to the literature, increased EFT thickness is associated with a wide range of NCDs, disease severity, and prognosis.

The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between EFT thickness and clinical and anamnestic parameters, a...
