Epikardiyal Yağ Dokusu Kalinliği ile Hemoglobin A1c Değerleri Arasindaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Amaç: Epikardiyal Yağ dokusu (EYD) kalınlığı ile kardiyovaküler hastalılar ve diyabetes mellitus (DM) arasında doğrusal bir ilişki vardır. Fakat DM'de kan şekeri regülâsyonun doğrudan bir ölçüsü olan HbA1c ile EYD arasındaki ilişki sorgulanmamıştır. Bu çalışmada EYD ile HbA1c arasındaki ilişki sorgulandı. Metot: Kardiyoloji kliniğimize başvuran toplam 90 hasta ardışık olarak çalışmaya dâhil edildi. Hastaların EYD'leri ekokardiyografi ile ölçüldü ve onların HbA1c değerleri ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Vücut kitle indeksi, açlık kan şekeri, HbA1c, vücut ağırlığı ile EYD arasında doğrusal bir ilişki bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, HbA1c ve EYD arasında doğrudan bir ilişki olduğu gösterildi ve EYD'nin preklinik diyabetin takibinde ve glikoz kontrolünde rehberlik edebileceği vurgulandı.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness and Hemoglobin A1c Levels

Objective: There is a linear relationship between Epicardial Adipose tissue (EAT) thickness and cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus (DM). However, the relationship between HbA1c, which is a direct measure of blood sugar regulation in DM, and EAT has not been questioned. In this study, the relationship between EAT and HbA1c was investigated. Method: A total of 90 patients who were admitted to our cardiology clinic were included in the study consecutively. The EATs of the patients were measured by echocardiography and compared with their HbA1c values. Result: Body mass index, fasting blood glucose, HbA1c and body weight are positively correlated with EAT (p<0.05) Conclusion: In this study, it was shown that there is a direct relationship between HbA1c and EAT, and it was emphasized that EAT can guide the follow-up of preclinical diabetes and glucose control.
