摘要
心包脂肪组织(pericardial adipose tissue,PAT)特殊的解剖学分布、复杂的生理生化特性以及与冠状动脉粥样硬化的密切相关性使其成为世界性研究热点。PAT体积增加已被公认是动脉粥样硬化性疾病和代谢综合征的一个重要危险因素。PAT体积与冠状动脉粥样硬化的发生发展密切相关,对内脏脂肪组织的鉴别和评价至关重要,故PAT体积对冠状动脉粥样硬化性心脏病的风险预测及诊断具有极高的临床应用价值,并可能成为冠心病的治疗靶点。
Pericardial adipose tissue, a special anatomical distribution of complex physiological and biochemical characteristics, as well as its relation to coronary atherosclerosis, has become a global hotspot. Increasing of the PAT volume has been recognized as an important risk factor for atheroselerotic disease and metabolic syndrome. PAT volume is closely related to the development of coronary atherosclerosis, identification and evaluation of visceral adipose tissue is critical. So the risk prediction and diagnosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease by PAT volume have high clinical value, which may be a therapeutic target for coronary heart disease.
