Association of perivascular fat attenuation on computed tomography and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction [PDF]
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 2447-2457, August 2023., 2023 Aims Heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is associated with chronic inflammation. We aimed to investigate the association between pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATA) on coronary computed tomography angiography as a novel ...

Perivascular Fat: A Novel Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
DiagnosticsPerivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) interacts with the vascular wall and secretes bioactive factors which regulate vascular wall physiology. Vice versa, vascular wall inflammation affects the adjacent PVAT via paracrine signals, which induce cachexia-type

Quantifying the link: coronary artery inflammation via CCTA-derived fat attenuation index and its association with diabetes duration [PDF]
Frontiers in EndocrinologyAimsAlthough diabetes is a well-established enhancer of coronary inflammation, the specific relationship between diabetes duration and the degree of inflammation, as quantified by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI), remains poorly defined.

Pericoronary adipose tissue inflammation mediates the atherogenic effects of lipids on multivessel coronary artery disease: a CCTA-based radiomics analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicineObjectiveThe atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a robust predictor of cardiovascular risk. However, its mechanism of action in the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) remains unknown.
