The Emerging Role of CT-Based Imaging in Adipose Tissue and Coronary Inflammation. [PDF]

Cells, 2021
A large body of evidence arising from recent randomized clinical trials demonstrate the association of vascular inflammatory mediators with coronary artery disease (CAD). Vascular inflammation localized in the coronary arteries leads to an increased risk

Coronary Inflammation by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation in MINOCA and Tako-Tsubo Syndrome. [PDF]

J Am Heart Assoc, 2019
Background The pericoronary fat attenuation index (pFAI) has emerged as a marker of coronary inflammation, which is measurable from standard coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Insulin resistance and coronary inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]

Cardiovasc Diabetol
Background Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) severity. However, its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

Impact of Glycemic Control on Coronary Inflammation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. [PDF]

Rev Cardiovasc Med, 2023
Background: Coronary inflammation causes significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients. This study investigated the relationship between coronary local inflammation, detected by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI),

Detection of coronary inflammation [PDF]

The Lancet, 2019
By use of coronary CT angiography in two large real-life prospective cohorts from completely different populations, Evangelos K Oikonomou and colleagues1 validated the prognostic value of a non-invasive marker of coronary inflammation, the perivascular fat attenuation index.2 In this study, a fat attenuation index higher than −70·1 Hounsfield units was

Inflammation in Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Chronic low-grade inflammation is involved in coronary atherosclerosis, presenting multiple clinical manifestations ranging from asymptomatic to stable angina, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure and sudden cardiac death. Coronary microvasculature consists of vessels with a diameter less than 500 μm, whose potential structural and functional ...

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography-Derived Modified Duke Index Is Associated with Peri-Coronary Fat Attenuation Index and Predicts Severity of Coronary Inflammation. [PDF]

Medicina (Kaunas)
Background and Objectives: The modified Duke index derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was designed to predict cardiovascular outcomes based on the severity of coronary stenosis.

Acute coronary disease Athero-Inflammation: Therapeutic approach [PDF]

Thrombosis Journal, 2003
Antithrombotic therapy is the cornerstone of the treatment of acute coronary syndromes, but there is now evidence which indicates that by blocking inflammation, thrombosis and thus, acute coronary events, could be lowered.

Relationship of OCT-defined plaque characteristics with CCTA-derived coronary inflammation and CMR-derived global coronary flow reserve in patients with acute coronary syndrome. [PDF]

PLoS One, 2023
BackgroundThe relationship of layered plaque detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) with coronary inflammation and coronary flow reserve (CFR) remains elusive.

Pericoronary fat attenuation index in computed tomography angiography is associated with mortality in end-stage renal disease [PDF]

Kidney Research and Clinical Practice, 2022
Background An increased pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) on computed tomography angiography (CTA) is associated with increased all-cause and cardiac mortality in the general population.
