Abstract
Aim. To determine the frequency, distribution and characteristics of ectopic obesity in patients without manifested cardiovascular disease.
Materials and methods. We examined 320 patients without manifested cardiovascular disease (average age 63.8±13.9 years), 38 of them – without cardiovascular risk factors (healthy referent group). Anthropometric indicators were measured, body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Degree, type of obesity, lipid profile were evaluated. All patients underwent multi-detector chest computed tomography in spiral mode on Toshiba Aquilion Prime scanner using standardized protocol. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) were detected using specialized semi-automatic software Tissue Composition Module QCTPro (Mindways Software, Inc., USA) after scanner calibration with special phantom. PAT and PVAT exceeding the 90th percentile in the healthy referent group were considered as ectopic obesity. Statistical analysis was performed using Statistica 10.0 software (StatSoft Inc., USA).
Results. PAT volume ≥3.2 cm3 and PVAT volume ≥0.4 cm3 were criteria for high pericardial and high perivascular fat; 81 (25.2%) patients had ectopic obesity, 85 (26.5%) patients – abdominal obesity; 146 (42.9%) people had high pericardial fat, 134 (39.4%) – high perivascular fat. The frequency of ectopic obesity in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) was statistically significantly higher compared to persons without AH. Significantly more often ectopic forms of obesity were detected in patients with overweight and obesity. The high pericardial fat and high perivascular fat were found in patients with overweight and normal body weight. When comparing the clinical characteristics of patients with abdominal and ectopic obesity, metabolic parameters, as well as the incidence of hypertension and dyslipidemia, did not differ significantly.
Conclusion. Ectopic obesity can develop outside of global obesity. In addition, this type of obesity is accompanied by metabolic disorders and AH, regardless of the abdominal distribution of adipose tissue.
