Correlation of echocardiographic epicardial fat thickness with severity of coronary artery disease-an observational study.
OBJECTIVE Epicardial fat is an indirect contact with coronary arteries. There are some studies about the relationship between this fat and metabolic syndrome and it has considered as an indicator of cardiovascular risk. Several studies have addressed the association between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) with conflicting results. The aim of our study was to eva...
متن کاملassociation between epicardial fat thickness and premature coronary artery disease: a case control study
conclusions the eft, as measured by echocardiography, with a cut off value 2.95 mm has a strong association with premature cad. results among baseline characteristics, waist circumference, triglyceride levels, cigarette smoking and history of statin use were significantly higher in the cad group. the body mass index (bmi) was significantly higher in the non-cad group. according to echocardiogra...
متن کاملEchocardiographic parameters of epicardial fat deposition and its relation to coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Epicardial fat has been associated to the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the association of lipomatous infiltration of the atrial septum and fat infiltration of the right ventricle remains uncertain. None of these parameters has been thoroughly studied in Hispanic patients. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between epicardial fat, lipomatous in...
متن کاملAssociation Between Epicardial Fat Thickness and Premature Coronary Artery Disease: A Case Control Study
BACKGROUND The association between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been elaborately studied. OBJECTIVES In the present study, we sought whether such a relationship between EFT and CAD exists. PATIENTS AND METHODS Sixty two consecutive subjects, under 50 years of age, who underwent coronary angiography (CAG) with the aspect of CAD, were incl...
متن کاملAssosiation of Epicardial and Pericardial Fat Thickness with Coronary Artery Disease
INTRODUCTION Visceral adipose tissue is a known important risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). While some studies have suggested relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and CAD, there are no adequate studies for pericardial fat thickness (PFT). The aim of this study was to determine the association of EFT and PFT with CAD. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted...
