Predictive value of the perivascular fat attenuation index for MACE in young people suspected of CAD [PDF]
BMC Cardiovascular DisordersObjective The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) evaluated by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been reported to have strong prognostic value, but few studies have focused on young people.

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.

The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index: Bridging Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk. [PDF]
J Clin MedCardiovascular disease remains the leading global cause of mortality, with inflammation now recognized as a central driver of atherosclerosis and other cardiometabolic conditions. Recent advances have repositioned perivascular adipose tissue from a passive structural element to an active endocrine and immunomodulatory organ, now a key focus in ...

Assessing Cardiovascular Risk by Using the Fat Attenuation Index in Coronary CT Angiography
Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging, 2021 Coronary CT angiography (CCTA) has evolved into a first-line diagnostic test for the investigation of chest pain. Despite advances toward standardizing the reporting of CCTA through the Coronary Artery Disease Reporting and Data System (or CAD-RADS) tool, the prognostic value of CCTA in the earliest stages of atherosclerosis remains limited ...
