Abstract:The important role of epicardial (EAT) and thymic (TAT) adipose tissue in the development of atherosclerosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is widely discussed. The purpose of the study was to investigate the lymphocyte subsets and FoxP3+Treg lymphocytes in epicardial, thymic and subcutaneous adipose tissue depending on the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with chronic CAD. We examined 24 patients with CAD (21 men; mean age 65.0 (58.0-68.0) years) scheduled for open-heart surger… Show more
