Abstract
Background. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) exerts cardiopathogenic effects, but the independent association between EAT and cardiovascular (CV) calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. We therefore assessed the association between EAT, CV risk factors and CV calcifications.
