Relationship between indexed epicardial fat volume and coronary plaque volume assessed by cardiac multidetector CT
We explored whether baseline indexed epicardial fat volume (EFVi) and serial changes in EFVi were associated with increase in coronary plaque volume as assessed by multidetector computed tomography.We retrospectively reviewed 87 patients with coronary artery plaque, identified during either baseline or follow-up cardiac computed tomography (CT) examinations. Each plaque volume was measured in v...
متن کاملSegmental peri-coronary epicardial adipose tissue volume and coronary plaque characteristics.
AIMS Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been proposed to modulate underlying coronary plaque features. The study aimed to determine the relation between segmental EAT (sEAT) volume, assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), and underlying coronary plaque characteristics, as estimated by multidetector computed tomography (CT) (MDCT). METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 32 male patients...
متن کاملThe impact of epicardial fat volume on coronary plaque vulnerability: insight from optical coherence tomography analysis.
AIMS Epicardial fat volume (EFV) has been implicated in coronary artery disease. Relationship between EFV and coronary plaque vulnerability has not been elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of EFV with coronary plaque vulnerability by using optical coherence tomography (OCT). METHODS AND RESULTS We enrolled 117 patients who underwent multislice computed tomogra...
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 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...
