  1. AUC area under the curve, BMI body mass index, CABG coronary artery bypass graft, CAD coronary artery disease, EAT epicardial adipose tissue, ESRD end-stage renal disease, hs-CRP high sensitivity C-reactive protein, LVEF left ventricular ejection fraction, PCI percutaneous coronary intervention.
