Key result
The volume of pericardial fat tissue was significantly higher in patients with coronary heart disease compared to patients without cardiovascular diseases (92.66 vs 55.30 cm3, p<0.001).
Why the study?
Does pericardial fat volume and density correlate with the presence of coronary heart disease and clinical parameters in adults?
Cross-Sectional (n=186)
Yes
Does pericardial fat volume and density correlate with the presence of coronary heart disease and clinical parameters in adults?
Increased volume and density of pericardial fat on CT are associated with the presence of coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation, highlighting its potential role as an imaging biomarker for cardiovascular risk.

Chiornaya et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary heart disease (CHD) (n=186). Coronary heart disease vs. Patients without cardiovascular diseases was evaluated on Pericardial fat volume (cm3) (p=<0.001). The volume of pericardial fat tissue was significantly higher in patients with coronary heart disease compared to patients without cardiovascular diseases (92.66 vs 55.30 cm3, p<0.001).
