The correlation of pericoronary adipose tissue with coronary artery disease and left ventricular function

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Key points A significant correlation exists between the fat attenuation index (FAI) and left ventricular function parameters. Our results suggest that cardiac mortality caused by an increased FAI may be due to changes in the left ventricular function ...

Role of cardiac CT in the diagnostic evaluation and risk stratification of patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA): rationale and design of the MINOCA-GR study

BMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) occurs in 5%–15% of all patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Correlation between liver fat content with dyslipidemia and Insulin resistance

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2013
Total 33 obese patients were studied to determine correlation in between liver fat content with dyslipidemia and insulin resistance. Liver and spleen attenuation measurements were taken with three regions of interests (ROIs) from the liver and two ROIs ...

Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index by Computed Tomography as a Metric of Coronary Inflammation

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018
We read with interest the study of Ohyama et al. [(1)][1] that linked vasospastic angina with perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) volume and inflammation. The role of PVAT in vascular disease pathogenesis is currently well-accepted and supported by both translational and clinical evidence [(2,3 ...

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.

Assessment of Coronary Inflammation by Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Clinically Suspected Myocarditis with Infarct-Like Presentation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Background: The pathophysiology of angina-like symptoms in myocarditis is still unclear. Perivascular fat attenuation index (pFAI) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a non-invasive marker of coronary inflammation (CI) in atherosclerosis. We explored the presence of CI in clinically suspected myocarditis with infarct-like presentation.

Regional Differences in the Level of Inflammation Between the Right and Left Coronary Arteries – a Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Study of Epicardial Fat Attenuation Index in Four Scenarios of Cardiovascular Emergencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2023
The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is an emerging computed tomography-derived marker for measuring vascular inflammation at coronary vessels. It holds prognostic significance for major cardiovascular events and enhances cardiac risk assessment,
