Association of semaglutide treatment with coronary artery inflammation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a retrospective study based on pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) has emerged as a novel and sensitive biomarker reflecting the degree of coronary artery inflammation.

Composite cardiac computed tomography angiography score for improved risk assessment in chronic coronary syndromes [PDF]

Agatston score, the degree of lumen narrowing categorized by CAD-RADS, high-risk atherosclerotic plaque features and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCAT) are parameters, which can be assessed non-invasively by coronary computed tomography ...

Radiomics of pericoronary adipose tissue on computed tomography angiography predicts coronary heart disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Diabetes is a common chronic metabolic disease. The progression of the disease promotes vascular inflammation and the formation of atherosclerosis, leading to cardiovascular disease.

Non-contrast CT-based radiomics nomogram of pericoronary adipose tissue for predicting haemodynamically significant coronary stenosis in patients with type 2 diabetes

BMC Medical Imaging, 2023
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients have a higher incidence of coronary artery disease than the general population. The aim of this study was to develop a radiomics nomogram of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) based on non-contrast CT ...

Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation predicts compositional plaque changes:a 12-month longitudinal study in individuals with type 2 diabetes without symptoms or known coronary artery disease [PDF]

BACKGROUND: Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATa), derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is a novel marker of inflammation in the coronary arteries.

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

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

Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography-Derived Modified Duke Index Is Associated with Peri-Coronary Fat Attenuation Index and Predicts Severity of Coronary Inflammation

Medicina
Background and Objectives: The modified Duke index derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) was designed to predict cardiovascular outcomes based on the severity of coronary stenosis.

Epicardial fat density obtained with computed tomography imaging - more important than volume?

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a unique fat depot located between the myocardium and the visceral layer of pericardium. It can be further subdivided into pericoronary (PCAT), periatrial (PAAT) and periventricular adipose tissue (PVentAT), each of ...

State of the art paper: Cardiac computed tomography of the left atrium in atrial fibrillation

, 2023
The clinical spectrum of atrial fibrillation means that a patient-individualised approach is required to ensure optimal treatment. Cardiac computed tomography can accurately delineate atrial structure and function and could contribute to a personalised ...

Roles of perivascular adipose tissue in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis : an update on recent findings [PDF]

Lifestyle-related diseases, such as atherosclerosis and diabetes, are now considered to be a series of diseases caused by chronic inflammation. Adipose tissue is considered to be an endocrine organ that not only plays a role in lipid storage, heat ...
