Description
Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is the ectopic visceral fat surrounding the heart, which plays an important role in atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries via endothelial damage. Several studies have also suggested that vasospasmwith angina (VSA) causes endothelial dysfunction in the coronary arteries. The aimof this study was to evaluate the thickness of EAT in the anterior interventricular groove (EAT-AIG) using echocardiography in patients who had no obstructive coronary artery disease and were suspected of having VSA.

Methods: Sixty-five patients who underwent intracoronary acetylcholine provocation testing for clinical indications were prospectively enrolled. VSA was diagnosed by coronary artery stenosis increase of >90% and the presentation of chest pain with ischemic changes on electrocardiography.

Results: Subjects were divided into two groups, with and without significant coronary spasm (VSA group, 30 patients; non-VSA group, 35 patients), consistent with acetylcholine provocation testing. EAT-AIG thickness was significantly greater in the VSA group than in the non-VSA group (8.2±2.7 vs 6.1±2.5 mm, P = .002). By receiver operating characteristic analysis, EAT-AIG thickness had a high C statistic (area under the curve = 0.81, P < .001) after adjustment for conventional risk factors (smoking, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia). EAT-AIG thickness had incremental diagnostic value over other conventional risk factors (area under the curve = 0.81 vs 0.64, P for comparison = .020).

Conclusions: EAT-AIG thickness, which is noninvasively and easily measured using transthoracic echocardiography, can be one of multiple clinical variables associated with VSA.
