| Abstract
We sought to investigate the possible association between the area of the epiaortic fat pad (EAFP) and dimensions of
the ascending aorta. A total of 193 individuals underwent transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) prospectively. The area
of the EAFP was traced anterior to the aortic root and correlated with the diameter of the aorta. The mean area of the
EAFP was 5.16 ± 2.28 cm2. Absolute and indexed dimensions of the ascending aorta had a significant correlation with
the area of the EAFP (p <0.001 for all). In a multivariate linear regression model, age >65 (p <0.001), body mass index
>30 kg/m2 (p = 0.02) and a history of hyperlipidemia (p = 0.003) were identified as independent predictors of the area
for EAFP. In conclusion, both the absolute and indexed diameters of the ascending aorta at the different segments that
directly come into contact with the EAFP linearly correlate with the area of the EAFP measured by TTE. |
