Epicardial fat volume is correlated with XXXX and its severity.

@entity1 @entity301 @entity3979 @entity453 @entity850
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the correlation of epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) with the @entity453 and its severity. METHODS: Inpatients with suspicious stable angina of @entity301 were recruited. For @entity1 with @entity453 in CTA, further coronary angiography (CAG) was performed to evaluate the @entity453 . Gensini scoring system was employed to assess the severity of @entity453 . RESULTS: @entity1 were classified as @entity301 ( @entity301 ) group (n = 160). Results showed the mean EATV was 192.57    30.32 cm(3) in @entity301 group, which was significantly larger than that in control group (138.56    23.18 cm(3); P < 0.01). The @entity3979 was classified as mild, moderate and severe @entity850 according to the extent of @entity453 , and results showed marked difference in the EATV among @entity1 with different severities of @entity3979 (P < 0.005). The Gensini score was positively related to EATV (r = 0.285, P = 0.000). The EATV increased with the increase in the number of affected coronary arteries. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed EATV was an independent risk factor of @entity301 after adjusting other confounding factors (OR = 1.023, P = 0.013). CONCLUSION: EATV is closely related to the severity of @entity453 : the larger the EATV, the more severe the @entity453 . Moreover, EATV is an independent risk factor of @entity301 .
