Epicardial Fat Thickness and Heart Risk in Adults Aged 50-70

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort will measure epicardial fat tissue (EFT) thickness using transthoracic echocardiography and relate it to clinical, laboratory, and anamnestic data. It will examine how EFT correlates with cardiac structure and function, and with other risk factors associated with metabolic and cardiovascular disease. The study will identify EFT thresholds linked to myocardial remodeling and will follow participants by phone to track outcomes and the prognostic value of EFT thickness for a composite endpoint. Data will come from patients undergoing echocardiography in Russia and Central Asia, with a focus on aging populations at risk for non-communicable diseases.
