The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index Improves the Diagnostic Performance for Functional Coronary Stenosis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an established first-line test in the investigation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), while the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) derived from CT seems to be a ...

Fat Attenuation Index of Renal Cell Carcinoma Reveals Biological Characteristics and Survival Outcome [PDF]

Frontiers in Oncology, 2022
PurposeThe computed tomography fat attenuation index (FAI) is an ideal quantifiable imaging factor to identify the inflammation degree of peri-tumor adipose tissue. We aimed to verify whether FAI could reflect peri-tumor adipose inflammation, predict the

Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) on computed tomography coronary angiography reclassifies individual cardiovascular risk estimation [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiology. Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention
Background: The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) detects and quantifies coronary inflammation by measuring phenotypic changes in perivascular adipose tissue by using computed tomography coronary angiography images.

Perivascular fat attenuation index measured by coronary computed tomography angiography as a tool for assessment of ischaemia-causing lesions: a case report [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background It can be difficult to diagnose coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome if coronary angiography does not identify stenosis. Coronary inflammation, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and

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

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 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),
