Correlation analysis between myocardial CT values (an index of myocardial fat content) and clinical parameters of the ≥ 65 years (the older subgroup) (A) and < 65 years (the younger subgroup) (B) subgroups. In the older subgroup, the myocardial CT value was associated with EF and Lat e’. Furthermore, the myocardial CT value was associated with BMI, VFA, SFA, L-S and M. In the younger subgroup, the myocardial CT value was associated with EF. Furthermore, the myocardial CT value was associated with SFA and M. BMI body mass index, VFA visceral fat areas, SFA subcutaneous fat areas, TGs triglycerides, EF ejection fraction, Lat e’ early lateral annular tissue Doppler velocity, S splenic CT value, L liver CT value, P pancreatic CT value, M iliopsoas muscle CT value
