ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate epicardial fat thickness change in coronary artery disease patients by using echocardiography.Methods 36 patients with coronary artery disease convinced by coronary angiography and 36 volunteer underwent transthoracic echocardiographic examination.Besides conventional parameters of heart,epicardial fat thickness on right ventricle were measured.Results Subjects with coronary artery disease showed higher epicardial fat thickness than volunteer subjects with predominant peripheral fat distribution(9.97?2.88)mm vs (4.34?1.98)mm(P=0.005) and (7.19?2.74)mm vs (3.43?1.64)mm(P=0.004) in men and women,respectively.Conclusion Transthoracic echocardiography provides a new convient method for evaluating epicardial fat thickness prediction in coronary artery disease.
