The role of cardiac computed tomography in predicting adverse coronary events
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is now considered a first-line diagnostic test for suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) providing a non-invasive, qualitative, and quantitative assessment of the coronary arteries and pericoronary regions.

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022 Key points A significant correlation exists between the fat attenuation index (FAI) and left ventricular function parameters. Our results suggest that cardiac mortality caused by an increased FAI may be due to changes in the left ventricular function ...

Quantification of periaortic fat tissue in contrast-enhanced computed tomography [PDF]
, 2022 Objective. Periaortic fat tissue (PaFT) has been implicated in the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs). Therefore, its quantification as a prognostic marker for aneurysm expansion has attracted clinical interest.

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.

MedComm, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Considering the advances in research and biological technology, our understanding of EAT has undergone a continuous deepening process, from volumetric measurement to in‐depth profiling of EAT, and from correlational to cause–effect studies. EAT amount measured by imaging techniques is significantly higher in patients with metabolic disorders.

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 46, Issue 10, Page 1244-1252, October 2023., 2023 The high level of right coronary artery‐pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (RCA‐PCATA) is an independent predictor for atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after radiofrequency ablation. PCATA surrounding the proximal RCA may identify high‐risk recurrence in AF ablation patients. The PCATA index in coronary computed tomography angiography reporting

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).
