Relationships of pericoronary and epicardial fat measurements in male and female patients with and without coronary artery disease [PDF]

, 2023
INTRODUCTION: Although pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is a component of the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) depot, they may have different associations to coronary artery disease (CAD).

Macrophage Polarization in the Perivascular Fat Was Associated With Coronary Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Inflammation of the perivascular adipose tissue (PvAT) may be related to atherosclerosis; however, the association of polarized macrophages in the pericoronary PvAT with measurements of atherosclerosis components in humans has not been fully ...

Clinical correlates of perivascular adipose tissue in coronary artery disease and obesity

Frontiers in Physiology
The adipose tissue surrounding the arterial and venous vasculature and microvasculature affects vascular reactivity and pathology, particularly when perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) accumulates in overweight and obese states.

Heart matters: How glucose‐ and lipid‐modulating drugs remodel epicardial adipose tissue accumulation, inflammatory patterns and browning

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 878-894, February 2026.
Abstract Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically active visceral fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral pericardium, exerting direct paracrine and vasocrine effects on the heart and coronary vessels. Under physiological conditions, EAT supports myocardial energy metabolism and thermoregulation through fatty acid supply and

Radiomics in Cardiac Computed Tomography

Diagnostics, 2023
In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and gated non-contrast cardiac CT in the workup of coronary artery disease in patients with low and intermediate pretest probability, through ...

International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology: Chemerin Receptors CMKLR1 (ChemerinWell1) and GPR1 (Chemerin2) Nomenclature, Pharmacology and Function [PDF]

, 2018
Chemerin, a chemoattractant protein and adipokine, has been identified as the endogenous ligand for a G protein-coupled receptor encoded by the gene CMKLR1 (also known as ChemR23) and as a consequence the receptor protein was renamed the chemerin ...

Metformin therapy effects on the expression of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2, leptin, and sirt6 levels in pericoronary fat excised from pre-diabetic patients with acute myocardial infarction [PDF]

, 2021
Background and purpose: pericoronary fat over-inflammation might lead to the development and destabilization of coronary plaque in patients with pre-diabetes (PDM).

Diagnostic Value of Computed Tomography Angiography for Detecting Bronchial Artery‐Pulmonary Artery Fistula in Patients With Hemoptysis and Findings Associated With Its Presence

iRADIOLOGY, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 465-474, December 2025.
The computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a very effective tool for detecting bronchial artery‐pulmonary artery fistula (BPF) in hemoptysis patients, the CTA and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) had high consistency in detecting the BPF in our finding.

Towards reference values of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation:impact of coronary artery and tube voltage in coronary computed tomography angiography [PDF]

, 2020
Objectives: To determine normal pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation (PCATMA) values for left the anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA) in patients without plaques on coronary CT angiography (cCTA ...

Association between higher pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation measured by coronary computed tomography angiography and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease A matched case-control study [PDF]

, 2021
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a risk factor for cardiac mortality. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation, expressed by the fat attenuation index on coronary computed tomography angiography, reflects pericoronary inflammation.
