Whereas our data did not show the correlation between LVEF and EAT volume, the discrepancy may be explained by the different numbers of patients studied, which were 21 in the present study and 129 in Zhao et al.41Both studies support the hypothesis that EAT plays a role in LV structure and function post‐STEMI. The gene discussed is MCL1; the disease is ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction.
