Aim: To study the distribution of epicardial fat in young people with type 1 diabetes mellitus using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies.
Material and Methods: 60 patients (29 men, 31 women), aged 18 to 36 years old, with an experience of type 1 diabetes from 5 to 16 years old were underwent contrastive cardio MRI. Measurements of epicardial fat (EF) were carried out on basal (B), medium (M), apical (A) segments of the left (LV) and right ventricles (RV) on a 4-chamber views.
Results: The results are presented as median and interquartile range (Q25–Q75): EFBLV – 1 [0;1] mm; EFMLV – 1 [0.1] mm; EFALV-– 2 [1.3] mm; EFBRV – 2 [1.75;3] mm; EFMRV – 2 [1.3] mm; EFARV – 2 [1.3] mm. The thickness of epicardial fat is greater in the RV (50 patients – 83.3%), however this pattern is not observed in all subjects, in 8 (13.3%) patients with type 1 diabetes the thickness of EF of ventricles were equivalent and in 2 patients (3.3%) EF is thicker in the LV.
Conclusion: The variability of epicardial fat in young patients with type 1 diabetes requires further research and comparison with the data of the morphofunctional state in the myocardium.
