Can aortic atherosclerosis or epicardial adipose tissue volume be used as a marker for predicting coronary artery disease?

Abstract: There is a strong relationship between thoracic aortic atherosclerosis and CAD. However, the relationship between EAT volume and CAD is not significant. The presence of aortic atherosclerosis can be used as an additional marker together with traditional cardiovascular risk factors for predicting CAD.

“…* Till Ittermann till.ittermann@uni-greifswald.de demonstrated a positive association between elevated AWT and increased risk for coronary artery disease [3,[7][8][9] and coronary artery stenosis [10] as a major manifestation of atherosclerosis. Moreover, increased AWT has been shown to be related to an increased lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease [11].…”

“…To determine the mechanism underlying the “brown to white” changes of pericardial adipose tissue, we next identified the potential candidate proteins in EAT, which is derived from aortic root. In the clinic, the presence of aortic atherosclerosis can be used as an additional marker for predicting CAD 24 . In our study, we also found calcified plaque around the aortic root in CAD compared with non-CAD patients (Supplementary Fig.…”
