Exploring the effect of dapagliflozin on coronary inflammation in type 2 diabetes patients based on the coronary artery perivascular fat attenuation index [PDF]

Cardiovascular Diabetology
Background The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is a novel biomarker that serves as an indicator of coronary artery inflammation. Dapagliflozin has become an important component of standard treatment for type 2 diabetes because of its ...

Evaluation of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation on CT [PDF]

, 2023
Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is the fat deposit surrounding coronary arteries. Although PCAT is part of the larger epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) depot, it has different pathophysiological features and roles in the atheroscle-rosis process.

Prognostic utility of the pericoronary fat attenuation index in patients with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2023
The etiology of takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) remains poorly understood and no optimal management strategy has been established. Identification of features associated with poor outcomes may improve the prognosis of patients with TCM. We aimed to identify the predictors of poor prognosis in patients with TCM using coronary computed tomography ...

Pericoronary fat attenuation index and coronary plaque quantified from coronary computed tomography angiography identify ischemia-causing lesions.

International Journal of Cardiology, 2022
The association between pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI), plaque characteristics, and lesion-specific ischemia identified by fractional flow reserve (FFR) remains unclear.Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) stenosis, FAI, plaque characteristics, FFR derived from computed tomography (FFRCT) and FFR were assessed in 280 vessels of 247

Role of cardiac CT in the diagnostic evaluation and risk stratification of patients with myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA): rationale and design of the MINOCA-GR study

BMJ Open, 2022
Introduction Myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) occurs in 5%–15% of all patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Regional Differences in the Level of Inflammation Between the Right and Left Coronary Arteries – a Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography Study of Epicardial Fat Attenuation Index in Four Scenarios of Cardiovascular Emergencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Emergencies, 2023
The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is an emerging computed tomography-derived marker for measuring vascular inflammation at coronary vessels. It holds prognostic significance for major cardiovascular events and enhances cardiac risk assessment,
