The association among peri-aortic root adipose tissue, metabolic derangements and burden of atherosclerosis in asymptomatic population

Abstract Aim To describe the relationship between a novel measurement of peri-arotic root fat and ultrasound measures of carotid artery remodeling. Materials and methods We studied 1492 consecutive subjects (mean age: 51.04 ± 8.97 years, 27% females) who underwent an annual cardiovascular risk surve...

Description
Summary:Abstract Aim To describe the relationship between a novel measurement of peri-arotic root fat and ultrasound measures of carotid artery remodeling. Materials and methods We studied 1492 consecutive subjects (mean age: 51.04 ± 8.97 years, 27% females) who underwent an annual cardiovascular risk survey in Taiwan. Peri-aortic root fat (PARF) was assessed by cardiac CT using three-dimensional (3D) volume assessment. Carotid artery morphology and remodeling were assessed by ultrasound. We explored the relationships between PARF volumes, cardiometabolic risk profiles and carotid morphology and remodeling. Results Mean PARF volume in current study was 20.8 ± 10.6 ml. PARF was positively correlated with measures of general adiposity, systemic inflammation, and several traditional cardiometabolic risk profiles (all p
