Epicardial adipose tissue in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

<h4>Rationale</h4>Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) volume as determined by chest computed tomography (CT) is an independent marker of cardiovascular events in the general population. COPD patients have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, however nothing is known about the EAT vol...
