dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: We studied the relationship of echocardiographic epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) to coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome (MS), and the extent of coronary atherosclerosis. BACKGROUND: The clinical significance of EAT for CAD, which has been observed during transthoracic echocardiography, has not been extensively studied. METHODS: EAT thickness was measured in 527 patients undergoing their first coronary angiography. EAT was defined as an echolucent area on the free wall of the right ventricle on the still image of the 2-dimensional echocardiogram at end diastole in the parasternal long-axis and parasternal short-axis views. Clinical and biochemical parameters, including body mass index, waist circumference, plasma lipid profiles, C-reactive protein, fasting glucose, and fasting insulin concentrations, were collected. Five computed tomography scans at the umbilicus were acquired at 3-mm intervals to determine the relationship of EAT to abdominal visceral adipose tissue (VAT) from a random sample of 30 patients. The extent of coronary atherosclerosis was assessed using a coronary atherosclerosis score based on the quantitative coronary angiography results. RESULTS: EAT thickness was correlated with abdominal VAT (ρ=0.626, p<0.001), age (ρ=0.480, P<0.001), waist circumference (ρ=0.309, p<0.001), body mass index (ρ=0.233, p<0.001), C-reactive protein (ρ=0.224, p<0.001), and the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) score (ρ=0.249, p<0.001). EAT was thicker in subjects with MS than in those without MS (1.6 vs. 3.5 mm, p<0.001); it was also thicker in subjects with CAD than in those without CAD (1.5 vs. 4.0 mm, p<0.001). EAT thickness increased with an increase in the number of MS components (ρ=0.321, p<0.001) and the atherosclerosis score (ρ=0.323, p<0.001). Unstable angina patients had thicker EAT compared to those with stable angina or atypical chest pain. (4.0, 3.0, and 1.5 mm, respectively, p<0.001). EAT was independently associated with CAD on multiple logistic analysis (odds ratio, 1.037; 95% CI, 1.025 to 1.049, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that EAT may reflect the amount of visceral fat, which is associated with insulin resistance and inflammation. The echocardiographic measurement of EAT may provide additional information for assessing CAD risk and predicting the extent and activity of CAD.-
dc.description.abstract목적 및 배경: 협심증 환자에서 시행하는 심초음파상 흔히 관찰되는 심장외막지방의 임상적 의의에 대해 현재까지 잘 알려지지 않았다. 본 연구는 심초음파상 관찰되는 심장외막지방과 대사증후군 및 관상동맥질환의 정도와의 연관성을 관찰하기 위해 시행하였다. 방법: 흉통을 주소로 내원하여 처음으로 관상동맥조영술을 시행한 527명의 환자에서 전향적, 연속적으로 심장외막지방을 측정하였다. 심초음파상 심장외막은 우심실 위에서 관찰되는 저에코영역으로 정의하였으며, 2차원 심초음파의 이완기 말의 흉골연장축 단면도에서 영상을 얻은 후 우심실 위에서 심장외막을 측정하였다. 모든 환자에서 허리둘레, 신장, 체중 등의 신체계측과 혈중 지질, CRP, 공복 시 인슐린 및 혈당 등의 검사를 시행하였다. 무작위 30명의 환자에서 복부내장지방과의 연관성을 알아보기 위해 복부 컴퓨터 단층 촬영을 시행하였다. 정량적 관상동맥 촬영을 통해 관상동맥 점수를 산출하였다. 결과: 심초음파상 심장외막 두께는 복부내장비만 (ρ=0.793, P<0.001), 나이 (ρ=0.480, P<0.001), 허리 둘레 (ρ=0.309, P<0.001), 체질량지수 (ρ=0.233, P<0.001), C-reactive protein (ρ=0.224, P<0.001) 그리고 HOMA 점수(ρ=0.249, P<0.001)와 유의한 상관관계를 보였다. 대사증후군 환자에서 정상에 비해 심외막지방이 두껍게 측정되었다 (1.6 vs. 3.5 mm, P<0.001). 관상동맥 질환 환자에서 정상에 비해 심외막지방이 두껍게 측정되었다 (1.5 vs. 4.0 mm, P<0.001). 또한 심외막지방은 불안정성 협심증 환자에서 안정성 협심증 및 비전형적인 흉통 환자에 비해 두껍게 측정되었다 (4.0 vs. 3.0 vs. 1.5 mm, P<0.001). 다중회귀분석에서 심외막지방은 관상동맥질환과 독립적으로 연관이 되었다. (Odd ration 1.037, 95% Confidence interval 1.205-1.049, P<0.001) 결론: 심장초음파로 특정한 심장외막지방은 내장 지방의 양을 나타내는 새로운 영상 지표이며, 대사증후군 및 관상동맥질환의 중요한 원인인 인슐린 저항성 및 염증과 연관되었을 것으로 생각된다. 따라서 심초음파를 통한 심장외막의 측정은 관상동맥질환의 위험인자 평가, 대사증후군의 진단 및 관상동맥질환의 이환 정도를 예측하는 데에 도움이 될 것으로 여겨진다.-
