Abstract

Intra-thoracic fat volume is associated with impaired myocardial function and adverse left ventricular remodeling in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease

Highlights

  • Intrathoracic fat volume (ITFV) is a reproducible imaging biomarker and has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction

  • Intra-thoracic fat volume is associated with impaired myocardial function and adverse left ventricular remodeling in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease

  • We explored the relationship between ITFV and 4D myocardial strainbased markers of adverse remodeling in the non-infarcted myocardium of patients with known or suspected CAD

Summary

Background

Intrathoracic fat volume (ITFV) is a reproducible imaging biomarker and has been associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and myocardial infarction. Relationships between ITFV and adverse left ventricular remodeling of the non-infarcted myocardium are unknown. We explored the relationship between ITFV and 4D myocardial strainbased markers of adverse remodeling in the non-infarcted myocardium of patients with known or suspected CAD
