Epicardial and Pericoronary Adipose Tissue, Coronary Inflammation, and Acute Coronary Syndromes. [PDF]

J Clin Med, 2023
Vascular inflammation is recognized as the primary trigger of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). However, current noninvasive methods are not capable of accurately detecting coronary inflammation. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT), in addition to their role as an energy reserve system, have been found to contribute to ...

Focal pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation is related to plaque presence, plaque type, and stenosis severity in coronary CTA [PDF]

, 2021
Objectives To investigate the association of pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation (PCAT(MA)) with coronary artery disease (CAD) characteristics on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA).

Pre‐percutaneous Coronary Intervention Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Attenuation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Predicts Global Coronary Flow Reserve After Urgent Revascularization in Patients With Non–ST‐Segment–Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Impaired global coronary flow reserve (g‐CFR) is related to worse outcomes. Inflammation has been postulated to play a role in atherosclerosis.

Repeatability of quantitative pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and coronary plaque burden from coronary CT angiography [PDF]

, 2021
BACKGROUND: High pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation and non-calcified plaque burden (NCP) measured from coronary CT angiography (CTA) have been implicated in future cardiac events.

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 ...

The Emerging Role of CT-Based Imaging in Adipose Tissue and Coronary Inflammation

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

Quantification of periaortic fat tissue in contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]

, 2022
Objective. Periaortic fat tissue (PaFT) has been implicated in the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Therefore, its quantification as a prognostic marker for aneurysm expansion has attracted clinical interest.

Relationship Between Coronary Atheroma, Epicardial Adipose Tissue Inflammation, and Adipocyte Differentiation Across the Human Myocardial Bridge

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Inflammation in epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may contribute to coronary atherosclerosis. Myocardial bridge is a congenital anomaly in which the left anterior descending coronary artery takes a “tunneled” course under a bridge of myocardium:

Epicardial adipose tissue, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular diseases: recent advances classified by research methodologies

MedComm, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Considering the advances in research and biological technology, our understanding of EAT has undergone a continuous deepening process, from volumetric measurement to in‐depth profiling of EAT, and from correlational to cause–effect studies. EAT amount measured by imaging techniques is significantly higher in patients with metabolic disorders.
