Correlation analysis between myocardial CT values (an index of myocardial fat content) and clinical parameters of the female subgroup (A) and the male subgroup (B). In the female subgroup, the myocardial CT value was associated with EF and Lat e’. Furthermore, the myocardial CT value was associated with VFA, SFA and M. In the male subgroup, the myocardial CT value was associated with EF. Furthermore, the myocardial CT value was associated with BMI, VFA, L-S and M. BMI body mass index, VFA visceral fat area, SFA subcutaneous fat area, 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
