Abstract
Conclusion-CAD is accompanied by augmented fat depots surrounding the heart, which are negatively related to coronary flow hyperemia. Among fat depots, IPF was the only independent predictor of hyperemic MBF, supporting the hypothesis of a direct paracrine/vasocrine effect. (Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2011;31:211-218.)
