Multivariable Models with Peripheral and LA Blood Levels of sICAM-1 as the Dependent Variable.

Models were adjusted for BMI and LA volume. As the dependent variable was log-transformed, the β coefficients were exponentially transformed. Exponential transformation of β coefficients (Exp β) implies an interpretation on a multiplicative scale. The level of sICAM1 changes by 100*(Exp β-1) % for a one unit increase in each EAT variable.Abbreviations: AIVG, anterior interventricular groove; EAT, epicardial adipose tissue; EATatrial, atrial EAT; EATventricular, ventricular EAT; IAS, interatrial septum; LA-ESO, periatrial epicardial fat located between the mid left atrium and esophagus; LA-PA, periatrial epicardial fat located between mid left atrium and pulmonary artery; LA-ThA, periatrial epicardial fat located between the mid left atrium and thoracic aorta; LAVG, left atrioventricular groove; PAF, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; PeAF, persistent AF; RAVG, right atrioventricular groove.
