Higher epicardial adipose tissue volume is associated with higher coronary fatty plaque volume and is regulated by waist circumference but not EPA+DHA supplementation
BACKGROUND
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) supplementation lower triglyceride levels. The impact on epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV), which is associated with cardiovascular events, is unclear.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if triglyceride reduction with EPA+DHA supplementation decreases EATV and whether EATV affects coronary plaque.
METHODS
139 subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) on statins were randomized to 3.36 g EPA+DHA daily or none (control) for 30 months. EATV, coronary plaque volumes and coronary artery calcium score were measured with coronary computed tomographic angiography.
RESULTS
Change in triglyceride level correlated with change in EATV (r=0.236; p=0.006). Despite a 6.7% triglyceride reduction (p=0.021) with EPA+DHA supplementation compared to no change in control (between group p=0.034); both groups had similar reductions in EATV possibly due to statin treatment. EATV above the median (>115.6 cm3) was the only determinant of baseline coronary fatty plaque volume (β=2.4, p=0.010). After multivariate adjustment, waist circumference, a surrogate of abdominal visceral adiposity, was the only determinant of baseline EATV (odds ratio {OR]:1.093; 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.003-1.192, p=0.042). Moreover, increase in waist circumference was the only predictor of an increase in EATV at 30 months (β=0.320, p=0.018).
CONCLUSIONS
EATV is associated with higher coronary fatty plaque volume and is regulated by waist circumference but not EPA+DHA supplementation at 30-month follow-up in CAD patients on statin treatment. The direct correlation between waist circumference and EATV suggests that maintaining a healthy weight may limit EATV and coronary fatty plaque volume, potentially leading to a decrease in cardiovascular events.
期刊介绍:
Because the scope of clinical lipidology is broad, the topics addressed by the Journal are equally diverse. Typical articles explore lipidology as it is practiced in the treatment setting, recent developments in pharmacological research, reports of treatment and trials, case studies, the impact of lifestyle modification, and similar academic material of interest to the practitioner. While preference is given to material of immediate practical concern, the science that underpins lipidology is forwarded by expert contributors so that evidence-based approaches to reducing cardiovascular and coronary heart disease can be made immediately available to our readers. Sections of the Journal will address pioneering studies and the clinicians who conduct them, case studies, ethical standards and conduct, professional guidance such as ATP and NCEP, editorial commentary, letters from readers, National Lipid Association (NLA) news and upcoming event information, as well as abstracts from the NLA annual scientific sessions and the scientific forums held by its chapters, when appropriate.
