Increased Regional Epicardial Fat Volume Associated with Reversible Myocardial Ischemia in Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

, 2014
Epicardial adipose tissue is a source of pro-inflammatory cytokines and has been linked to the development of coronary artery disease. No study has systematically assessed the relationship between local epicardial fat volume (EFV) and myocardial ...

Diagnosis of perimenopausal coronary heart disease patients using radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue based on coronary computed tomography angiography

Scientific Reports
To assess whether the radiomics signature of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can distinguish between perimenopausal women with coronary heart disease (CHD) and those without coronary artery disease (

The relationship between different exercise conditions and pericoronary inflammation as quantified by coronary CTA in coronary artery disease

Heliyon
Objectives: The correlation between exercise type and intensity and coronary artery inflammation in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown. Therefore, this study assessed the relationship between coronary inflammation quantified by

Non-invasive detection of coronary inflammation using computed tomography and prediction of residual cardiovascular risk (the CRISP CT study): a post-hoc analysis of prospective outcome data [PDF]

, 2018
Background Coronary artery inflammation inhibits adipogenesis in adjacent perivascular fat. A novel imaging biomarker—the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI)—captures coronary inflammation by mapping spatial changes of perivascular fat attenuation ...
