Epicardial and Pericardial Fat Volume Correlate with the Severity of Coronary Artery Stenosis
INTRODUCTION Epicardial fat volume (EFV) has been reported to correlate with the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). Pericardial fat volume (PFV) has recently been reported to be strongly associated with CAD severity and presence. We aimed to investigate the relationship between EFV and PFV with severity of coronary artery stenosis in patients undergoing 64-slice multi-slice computed tom...
متن کاملEpicardial fat volume correlates with severity of coronary artery disease in nonobese patients.
OBJECTIVE It has been reported that epicardial adipose tissue could locally modulate the coronary artery functions through secretion of proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Epicardial fat tissue is further implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD) because of its proximity to the adventitia of the major epicardial coronary arteries. We investigated the relations...
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...
متن کاملRelation of coronary collateral circulation with epicardial fat volume in patients with stable coronary artery disease
OBJECTIVE To investigated the relationship between epicardial fat volume (EFV) and coronary collateral circulation (CCC) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The study population consisted of 152 consecutive patients with CAD who underwent coronary angiography and were found to have at least 95% significiant lesion in at least one major coronary artery. EFV was asses...
متن کاملEpicardial fat volume is correlated with coronary lesion and its severity.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation of epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) with the coronary artery lesion and its severity. METHODS Inpatients with suspicious stable angina of coronary heart lesion were recruited. For patients with coronary artery lesions in CTA, further coronary angiography (CAG) was performed to evaluate the coronary artery lesion. Gensini scoring system was employed...
