Epicardial Fat and Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients on Long-Term Hemodialysis

Abstract

The epicardial fat volume in patients with chronic kidney disease and on hemodialysis is significantly correlated to BMI, age, and smoking but, with the exception of younger patients, not to the coronary calcium score. Our data suggest that in this special patient cohort, other mechanisms might influence the genesis of coronary calcification.
