Epicardial adipose tissue volume as a marker of coronary artery disease severity in patients with diabetes independent of coronary artery calcium: findings from the CTRAD study.


ABSTRACT: The association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and coronary artery disease (CAD) severity was evaluated, independent of traditional risk factors and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, in patients with diabetes type 2 (DM-2) using cardiac computed tomography angiography (CTA).A multivariate analysis was utilized to assess for an independent association after calculating EAT volume, CAD severity, and calcium scores in 92 patients with DM-II from the CTRAD study. We graded CAD severity as none (normal coronaries), mild-moderate (<70% stenosis), and severe (70% or greater stenosis).A total of 39 (42.3%) asymptomatic patients with diabetes did not have CAD; 30.4% had mild/moderate CAD; and 27.1% had severe CAD. Mean EAT volume was highest in patients with severe CAD (143.14 cm(3)) as compared to mild/moderate CAD (112.7 cm(3)), and no CAD (107.5 cm(3)) (p = 0.003). After adjustment of clinical risk factors, notably, CAC score, multivariate regression analysis showed EAT volume was an independent predictor of CAD severity in this sample (odds ratio 11.2, 95% confidence interval 1.7-73.8, p = 0.01).Increasing EAT volume in asymptomatic patients with DM-II is associated with presence of severe CAD, independent of BMI and CAC, as well as traditional risk factors.
