Özet
Introduction: Epicardial fat is a tissue that releases many proinflammatory and atherogenic mediators, with endocrine and paracrine effects on the heart. In this study, the implication of the EFT thickness (EFTt) on transmural dispersion of repolarisation (TDR) was analysed utilizing the T-wave peak to end interval (Tp-Te), the Tp-Te dispersion (Tp-Te (d)), and the Tp-Te/QT ratio. Material and methods: One thousand seven hundred and thirteen subjects were enrolled in the research. The subjects were chosen to be healthy individuals, without any cardiovascular/systemic disorders or risk factors for atherosclerosis. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) was applied to all subjects, and EFTt was measured in both diastole and systole. The ECG measurements were taken from standard 12-lead surface ECG. Results: Correlation analysis revealed that the EFTt is highly associated with the Tp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT ratio, Tp-Te (d), increasing age, body mass index (BMI), body surface area (BSA), left ventricular (LV) mass, LV mass index, plasma glucose during fasting, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Conclusions: The study results showed that increased EFTt was associated with increased TDR values of Tp-Te, Tp-Te (d), and Tp-Te/QT ratio, even in the absence of other factors that could increase TDR and EFTt. Therefore, it can be stated that increased EFTt may cause an increase the risk for ventricular arrhythmia.
