Diagonal earlobe crease associated with increased epicardial adipose tissue and carotid intima media thickness in subjects free of clinical cardiovascular disease

Abstract

Aterosklerotik koroner arter hastalığı, tüm dünyada önde gelen ölüm nedenlerinden birisidir. Diyagonal kulak memesi kıvrımı (DKMK) kardiyovasküler hastalıkların basit, noninvaziv bir belirtecidir. Epikardiyal yağ dokusu kalınlığı (EYDK) ve karotis intima

Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death, worldwide. Diagonal earlobe crease (DELC) has been suggested as a simple, noninvasive marker of cardiovascular disease. Although epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and carotid int
