EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE THICKNESS A NOVEL CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK IN HYPERTENSIVE OBESE ADULTS
Mittal Arvind, Bajpai Pranay
Abstract :
INTRODUCTION :–Obesity is a independent risk factor for DM, HTN, OSA, stroke, MI, Arrhythmias etc.Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT)is a lipid–storing depot (an endocrine organ) secreting cytokines & chemokines So it could play roles in the pathogenesis of coronary atherosclerosis & cardiomyopathy
AIM/OBJECTIVE:–Study Epicardial Adipose Tissue (EAT) as an independent prognostic marker in hypertensive obese adult as recent cardiovascular risk marker and its comparison with Body mass index(BMI).
MATERIAL & METHOD:–All adults patient attending the Medicine OPD in two year duration were enrolled in the study.Anthropometric data collection :–Weight(Kg), Height(cm), Waist Circumference(cm), Hip Circumference(cm).Echocardiography was performed after anthropometric measurements.Two dimensional targeted M–mode measurement of EAT as recommended by American Society of echocardiography(ASE).
RESULT:–The BMI was found higher in the experimental group 42.48(+/–7.35)than control group 21.69(+/–3.32).BSA & WHR both were significantly higher in experimental than control group.EAT are significantly higher in experimental group than control group.
CONCLUSION:–Reduction in BMI , marker of Obesity will lead to improvement of epicardial adipose tissue thickness& will likely to prevent further cardiovascular morbidity &mortality”
