Patient-Level Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Mean Attenuation: Associations with Plaque Characteristics [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATa), observed from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is emerging as an inflammation marker. This study evaluated the relationship between PCATa and plaque characteristics, including plaque type ...
