EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE THICKNESS A NOVEL CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK IN HYPERTENSIVE OBESE ADULTS
Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 5
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”
