Abstract

Epicardial fat, a local visceral fat depot surrounded by visceral pericardial sac, surrounds the coronary arteries for most of their course and may contribute to the development of coronary atherosclerosis by local production of inflammatory cytokines. Some studies on non‑invasive measurement of epicardial fat mass have shown that epicardial fat mass is associated with the increased incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), onset and progression of coronary plaque, mainly including major adverse cardiovascular events, myocardial ischemia, and atrial fibrillation. In the present study the correlation of adiponectin, chemerin, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with the epicardial fat volume in patients with coronary artery disease was explored, and the risk factors for vascular remodeling of CAD patients were analyzed. A total of 50 CAD patients, treated in Chongzuo People's Hospital from August 2017 to September 2018, were enrolled as the observation group, and further 50 healthy individuals, who underwent physical examinations in the hospital at the same period, were enrolled as the control group. RT‑qPCR was adopted to detect the expression levels of adiponectin, chemerin and VEGF in the two groups, a 64‑slice dual‑source CT to detect epicardial fat volume, and Pearson's correlation to analyze adiponectin, chemerin, VEGF and epicardial fat volume. Logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors for vascular remodeling in CAD patients, and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to analyze the value of indexes with multifactorial significance in vascular remodeling. The observation group showed obviously larger epicardial fat volume than the control group (P<0.001), lower adiponectin expression than the control group (P<0.001), and higher chemerin and VEGF expression than the control group (P<0.001). In the observation group, adiponectin expression decreased with the increase of epicardial fat volume (P<0.001), while the expression of chemerin and VEGF increased with the increase of epicardial fat volume (P<0.001). Remodeling occurred in 27 of the 50 patients. ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under the curves of adiponectin, chemerin, VEGF and epicardial fat volume were 0.697, 0.652, 0.696 and 0.689, respectively. Epicardial fat volume, adiponectin, chemerin and VEGF are independent risk factors for vascular remodeling and the expression of adiponectin, chemerin and VEGF can reflect epicardial fat volume.
