Sex-specific association of epicardial adipose tissue with coronary artery disease in an Indian cohort: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

s: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a crucial role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the sex-specific relationship between EAT volume and CAD or its risk factors in an Indian cohort, filling the gap in data for the South Asian population.

Methods

The retrospective study included 950 subjects who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) from 2013 to 2016 at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in India. The EAT volume and CAD status were examined. CAD risk factors such as age, body mass index (BMI), smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol levels were documented. In a sex-specific fashion, the generalized additive model and multivariable logistic regression analyses were applied to assess the correlati
