Objectives: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been shown to be related to cardiovascular risk. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between EAT and endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Study design: Type 2 DM patients were divided into two groups according to their brachial flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) values. The endothelial dysfunction (ED) group consisted of 46 patients with FMD change of 7% were accepted as the non-ED group. EAT thickness was measured on the right ventricular free wall from the transthoracic echocardiographic parasternal long- and short-axis views. The patients' demographic, anthropometric and laboratory findings were recorded. Results: The mean diameter of EAT was 8.0+-1.8 cm in the ED group and 6.6+-1.2 cm in the non-ED group (p |
