Resting echocardiographic parameters can exclude significant coronary artery disease: A comparison with coronary computed tomography angiography

Echocardiography, Volume 40, Issue 11, Page 1251-1258, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is known to have a high negative predictive value (NPV) in identifying coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to examine whether resting echocardiographic parameters could exclude significant CAD on CCTA.

Impact of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation on recurrence after radiofrequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 46, Issue 10, Page 1244-1252, October 2023., 2023
The high level of right coronary artery‐pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (RCA‐PCATA) is an independent predictor for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. PCATA surrounding the proximal RCA may identify high‐risk recurrence in AF ablation patients. The PCATA index in coronary computed tomography angiography reporting

Influence of intensive lipid‐lowering on CT derived fractional flow reserve in patients with stable chest pain: Rationale and design of the FLOWPROMOTE study

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 45, Issue 10, Page 986-994, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Coronary CT angiography (CTA) derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) shows high diagnostic performance when compared to invasively measured FFR. Presence and extent of low attenuation plaque density have been shown to be associated with abnormal physiology by measured FFR.

Aortic valve perivascular adipose tissue computed tomography attenuation in patients with aortic stenosis

, 2023
Objective: Aortic stenosis (AS) shares pathophysiological similarities with atherosclerosis including active inflammation. CT attenuation of perivascular adipose tissue provides a measure of vascular inflammation that is linked to prognosis and has the ...

Exploring the Relationship of Perivascular Adipose Tissue Inflammation and the Development of Vascular Pathologies

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Initially thought to only provide mechanical support for the underlying blood vessels, perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has now emerged as a regulator of vascular function. A healthy PVAT exerts anticontractile and anti‐inflammatory actions on the underlying vasculature via the release of adipocytokines such as adiponectin, nitric oxide, and omentin.
