N2 - Background: This study examines the relationship between epicardial fat volume (EFV) and lesion-specific ischemia by fractional flow reserve (FFR). Methods: In a study of 173 patients (63.0 ± 8.3 years) undergoing FFR, EFV was determined using cardiac computed tomography. Relationships between EFV and FFR were assessed using multivariable linear and logistic regression. Results: Using multivariable linear and logistic regression, no association between EFV and FFR was observed (β [SE] = −0.001 [0.003], P = 0.6, OR [95% CI]: 1.02 [0.94–1.11], P = 0.64, respectively). Conclusion: In patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease undergoing invasive angiography, EFV was not associated with FFR.
