Epicardial adipose tissue is associated with central adiposity but not with CAD
Increased amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) have been linked to coronary artery disease (CAD). Clinically central adiposity is used as proxy for higher amounts of VAT. The aim of this study is to determine if central distribution of adipose tissue and CAD are associated with higher amounts of EAT. Central distribution of the adipose tissue has higher amount of EAT which is a known risk factor for CAD. Waist circumference did not show a strong correlation with thickness of the EAT which was expected due to its undiscriminating nature between subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue.
