dc.description.abstractBackground Para-aortic adipose tissue (PAT) is the local adipose tissue that externally surrounds the aorta. It contributes significantly to aortic atherosclerosis and enlargement. Studies conducted with computed tomography and magnetic resonance have shown that individuals with aortic aneurysm had more PAT than healthy individuals. In this study, we measured PAT using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The aim of this study is to investigate the possible relationship of TTE measured PAT with ascending aortic width. Methods PAT was defined as the hypoechoic space in front of ascending aortic 2 cm above the sinotubular junction at the end of the systole. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of dilatation in the ascending aorta using Roman's classification (aortic size index, ASI). ASI of less than 21 was considered no aortic dilation and an ASI of 21 mm/m2 or greater was considered to have aortic dilation. Results A total of 321 unselected patients were divided into the ascending aortic dilatation (AAD) group (n = 96) and the normal ascending aorta diameter group (n = 225 patients). PAT was significantly higher in the AAD group compared with the non-ADD group (0.9 (0.48) vs. 0.7 (0.91) mm, p < 0.0001). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that PAT (OR: 3.005, 95%CI (1.445-6.251)) were significantly associated with AAD. Conclusions This is the first study which evaluated PAT measured by TTE. We found a significant association between PAT measured by TTE and ascending aorta width.en_US
