Fig 5: Coronary vasoreactivity is worse in segments with increased epicardial adipose tissue area.

Fig 5:

CSA (coronary cross sectional area) change with IHE (isometric handgrip exercise) in segments with lower EAT (epicardial adipose tissue, black bar) and in those segments with higher EAT area (striped bar) in 15 subjects with HIV (2 segments per individual). The % CSA change with IHE stress was reduced in higher EAT segments compared to % CSA change in paired lower EAT segments within a given individual. * p=0.01. Error bars represent SD.
