“…2,5 Consistent with previous publications, this present study demonstrated that patients with coronary atherosclerosis had significantly larger EAT volume. 7,15 However, the present study was first to demonstrate an inverse relationship between EAT volume and myocardial contractile function that is independent of CAD.…”

SUMMARYCoronary artery disease (CAD) and obesity are both independently associated with impaired myocardial systolic function. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume is another marker of visceral adiposity, and is associated with CAD. The association between EAT and myocardial systolic dysfunction versus other measures of obesity is unknown. This study showed that EAT volume is independently associated with myocardial systolic dysfunction, and may play a significant role in pathophysiology of diabetic, obesity and metabolic heart diseases.

“…CVD including coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke account for 80% of all deaths in diabetic patients (5). There is evidence that abnormal lipid profile of excessive visceral fat tissue is linked with increased systemic inflammation, diabetes mellitus (DM) and CVD (6)(7)(8). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is one of the visceral fat depots found in the body (9,10).…”

“…There is growing evidence that excessive visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (including visceral abdominal, pericardial, and thoracic periaortic adipose tissue (TAT)) is linked to abnormal lipid profiles, enhanced systemic inflammation, diabetes mellitus (DM), and CVD (8,9,10,11,12,13). Perivascular fat is considered to be highly metabolically active, secreting substances with known vascular actions (8,9).…”

Objective: To evaluate thoracic periaortic adipose tissue (TAT) volume in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) in comparison with controls and in relation to cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: The study population consisted of 28 newly diagnosed SH patients (mean (S.D.) age: 37.3 (G11.4) years, 85.7% were females) and 37 healthy volunteers (mean (S.D.) age: 35.3 (G10.7) years, 81.5% were females). Comparisons between patient and control groups used demographic characteristics, anthropometrics, and laboratory findings. All participants underwent thoracic radiographic assessment in the supine position, using an eight-slice multidetector computed tomography scanner and TAT volume was measured. Results: The TAT volume was determined to be 27.2 (G12.7) cm 3 in the SH group and 16.3 (G8.1) cm 3 in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P!0.001). In addition, TSH levels were significantly higher in the patient group compared with the control group (P!0.001). A significant correlation was also found between TSH levels and TAT volume (rZ0.572; P!0.001). In SH patients, no significant difference was noted in TAT levels with respect to sex (PZ0.383) or concomitant smoking status (PZ0.426). Conclusions: Our findings indicate that SH patients have significantly higher TAT values than controls and that increased TAT levels correlate with increased TSH levels.
