[Abstract] Objective To investigate the effect of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) on left ventricular remodeling in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) using T1 mapping technology. Materials andMethods The EAT volume and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) of 52 patients diagnosed with HCM in our hospital were measured by cine-MRI, modified Look-Locker inverse recovery T1 mapping sequence. The level of left ventricular fibrosis was measured by ECV. EAT was divided into high and low groups according to the median, and the influence of EAT and related clinical factors on myocardial ECV value was evaluated. Use linear regression to analyze the collinearity of the above statistically significant variables. In addition, the difference of obstructive myocardial hypertrophy between high and low EAT groups was further compared.Results The ECV value of myocardium in the high EAT group was higher than that in the low EAT group (P=0.003), and more obstructive hypertrophy occurred in the high EAT group than in the low EAT group (P=0.012). The ECV of male was higher than that of female (P=0.047). There was no multicollinearity between gender and EAT (tolerance≥0.1, VIF≤5). The remaining clinical factors had no significant correlation with ECV (P>0.05).Conclusions The incidence of obstructive myocardial hypertrophy in patients with high EAT is increased, which is an independent risk factor of HCM interstitial fibrosis.
