Özet

Purpose Epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EATT) is considered to be a surrogate for visceral fat and a novel cardiovascular risk indicator. Hyperprolactinemia has been shown to be associated with increased cardiovascular risk. The aim was to evaluate the association between EATT, carotid intima media thickness (CIMT), and cardiac functions in patients with prolactinoma.
