Epicardial fat and coronary artery disease: An open debate
stress-only MPI SPECT (≈3 mSv), rest-stress MPI PET Rubidium-82 (≈3 mSv), and rest-stress MPI PET 13N (≈2 mSv) are represented in the recent consensus document (3). In addition, as defined by the authors, novel SPECT camera technology may allow us to reduce radiation doses with SPECT imaging (5). Stress-only MPI use may be encouraged whenever possible to reduce radiation exposure. Finally, in f...
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 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 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...
