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 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 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 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 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...
