Objective: Recent studies have shown that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness is increased in patients with hypertension. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relation of EAT thickness with resistant hypertension (RHT).
Participants And Methods: Study participants (n=150) were classified into three groups according to their office and ambulatory blood pressure measurements: RHT (n=50), controlled hypertension (CHT, n=50), and normotension (NT, n=50).
