Core Tip	Carotid intima-media thickening (CIMT) is a precursor to atherosclerosis. The epicardial fat layer secretes proinflammatory factors that contribute to coronary artery disease caused by coronary atherosclerosis. Our study focused on determining the correlation between epicardial adipose layer thickness (EAT) and changes in common carotid artery elasticity and CIMT on ultrasound. The combined detection of EAT, carotid artery elasticity, and CIMT facilitates the early diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
