Epicardial Adipose Tissue and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Myocardial Infarction Patients with and without Diabetes.
Academic Radiology 2024 April 23
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation plays a key role in the progression myocardial infarction (MI) and diabetes. Diabetic patients have elevated risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) compared to non-diabetic patients. We aimed to investigate the prognostic value of EAT volume in MI patients with and without diabetes.
METHODS: This study included 458 MI patients who underwent cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging and received successful stent implantation. EAT volume was quantified with cardiac CT imaging. Sub-study stratification of patients by diabetes status was further analyzed. Cox proportional hazards regression models were applied to evaluate the association between EAT volume and MACEs.
RESULTS: Diabetes was identified in 135 of the 458 patients (29.5%). EAT volume was significantly higher in diabetes than non-diabetes. During a median follow-up of 1154 days, MACEs occurred more frequently in patients with versus without diabetes. EAT volume was independent predictor of MACEs in all MI patients after adjustment for risk factors, and showed good predictive value in the evaluation of MACEs. Moreover, EAT volume was also significantly associated with MACEs after adjustment for risk factors in diabetes and non-diabetes in the subgroup analysis.
CONCLUSION: MI patients with diabetes had higher EAT volume and experienced higher rate of MACEs compared to non-diabetes. EAT volume is an independent risk of prognosis of MI, regardless of the diabetes status.
