The correlation of pericoronary adipose tissue with coronary artery disease and left ventricular function.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We sought to investigate the correlation of pericoronary adipose tissue with coronary artery disease and left ventricular (LV) function.

Methods

Participants with clinically suspected coronary artery disease were enrolled. All participants underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and echocardiography followed by invasive coronary angiography (ICA) within 6 months. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) was extracted to analyze the correlation with the Gensini score and LV function parameters, including IVS, LVPW, LVEDD, LVESD, LVEDV, LVESV, FS, LVEF, LVM, and LVMI. The correlation between PCAT and the Gensini score was assessed using Spearman's correlation analysis, and that between the PCAT volume or FAI and LV function parameters was determined using
