Journal ArticleDOI
Abdominal visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue compartments: association with metabolic risk factors in the Framingham Heart Study.
Caroline S. Fox,Joseph M. Massaro,Udo Hoffmann,Karla M. Pou,Pál Maurovich-Horvat,Chunyu Liu,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Joanne M. Murabito,James B. Meigs,L. Adrienne Cupples,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Christopher J. O'Donnell +11 more
TL;DR: These findings are consistent with the hypothesized role of visceral fat as a unique, pathogenic fat depot and Measurement of VAT may provide a more complete understanding of metabolic risk associated with variation in fat distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Outcomes of Anatomical versus Functional Testing for Coronary Artery Disease
Pamela S. Douglas,Udo Hoffmann,Manesh R. Patel,Daniel B. Mark,Hussein R. Al-Khalidi,Brendan Cavanaugh,Jason Cole,Rowena J. Dolor,Christopher B. Fordyce,Megan Huang,Muhammad Akram Khan,Andrzej S. Kosinski,Mitchell W. Krucoff,Vinay Malhotra,Michael H. Picard,James E. Udelson,Eric J. Velazquez,Eric Yow,Lawton S. Cooper,Kerry L. Lee,Abstr Act +20 more
TL;DR: In symptomatic patients with suspected CAD who required noninvasive testing, a strategy of initial CTA, as compared with functional testing, did not improve clinical outcomes over a median follow-up of 2 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pericardial Fat, Visceral Abdominal Fat, Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors, and Vascular Calcification in a Community-Based Sample The Framingham Heart Study
Guido A. Rosito,Joseph M. Massaro,Udo Hoffmann,Frederick L. Ruberg,Amir A. Mahabadi,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Caroline S. Fox +7 more
TL;DR: Intrathoracic and pericardial fat are associated with vascular calcification, which suggests that these fat depots may exert local toxic effects on the vasculature, but VAT is a stronger correlate of most metabolic risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Calcified and Noncalcified Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque by Contrast-Enhanced, Submillimeter Multidetector Spiral Computed Tomography A Segment-Based Comparison With Intravascular Ultrasound
Stephan Achenbach,Fabian Moselewski,Dieter Ropers,Maros Ferencik,Udo Hoffmann,Briain D. MacNeill,Karsten Pohle,Ulrich Baum,Katharina Anders,Ik-Kyung Jang,Werner G. Daniel,Thomas J. Brady +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the ability of multidetector spiral computed tomography (MDCT) to detect atherosclerotic plaque in nonstenotic coronary arteries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue Volumes Are Cross-Sectionally Related to Markers of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress The Framingham Heart Study
Karla M. Pou,Joseph M. Massaro,Udo Hoffmann,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Pál Maurovich-Horvat,Martin G. Larson,John F. Keaney,James B. Meigs,Izabella Lipinska,Sekar Kathiresan,Joanne M. Murabito,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Emelia J. Benjamin,Caroline S. Fox +13 more
TL;DR: The present cross-sectional data support an association between both SAT and VAT with inflammation and oxidative stress and suggest that the contribution of visceral fat to inflammation may not be completely accounted for by clinical measures of obesity.
