Role of multislice computed tomography in assessment of epicardial adipose tissue in coronary artery diseases
Background This study aims to evaluate the relationship between epicardial fat volume and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) using multislice computed tomography (CT) coronary angiography. Patients and methods This was prospective study conducted in Misr Radiology Center, International Medical Center, and National Heart Institute and included 70 patients with clinical suspicious of CAD. They were aged from 35 to 73 years, with a mean age of 53.6±9.6 years. Results The study was performed on 70 patients with clinical suspicion of CAD. They were referred to undergo CT coronary angiography in the period from January 2018 to December 2019. They aged from 35 to 73 years, with a mean age of 53.6±9.6 years. Conclusion In our study, we found that epicardial fat volume is associated with presence and degree of CAD, although most multidetector CT fat depot measurements showed good association and correlation with grade of CAD.
