The Effect of Clinically Indicated Liraglutide on Pericoronary Adipose Tissue in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Cardiovascular Therapeutics, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Vascular inflammation can be detected in the pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) attenuation. Treatment with liraglutide is associated with anti‐inflammatory effects and reduces cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients.

Empagliflozin‐Metformin Combination Has Antioxidative and Anti‐Inflammatory Properties that Correlate with Vascular Protection in Adults with Type 1 Diabetes

Journal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Background and Aim. Our previous study showed that the empagliflozin‐metformin combination significantly improved arterial function; i.e., it improved endothelial function (measured by flow‐mediated dilation and reactive hyperaemia index) and reduced arterial stiffness (measured as pulse wave velocity and local carotid artery stiffness) in adults with ...

Lesion-Specific Peri-Coronary Fat Attenuation Index Is Associated With Functional Myocardial Ischemia Defined by Abnormal Fractional Flow Reserve

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: The association between abnormal invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the fat attenuation index (FAI) of lesion-specific peri-coronary adipose tissue (PCAT) is unclear.Method: Data of patients who underwent coronary computed tomography ...

HDL Improves Cholesterol and Glucose Homeostasis and Reduces Atherosclerosis in Diabetes‐Associated Atherosclerosis

Journal of Diabetes Research, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Background and Aims. Apolipoprotein A‐I (ApoA‐I), the main component of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL), not only promotes reverse cholesterol transport (RCT) in atherosclerosis but also increases insulin secretion in pancreatic β‐cells, suggesting that interventions which raise HDL levels may be beneficial in diabetes‐associated cardiovascular disease (

Aortic valve perivascular adipose tissue computed tomography attenuation in patients with aortic stenosis

, 2023
Objective: Aortic stenosis (AS) shares pathophysiological similarities with atherosclerosis including active inflammation. CT attenuation of perivascular adipose tissue provides a measure of vascular inflammation that is linked to prognosis and has the ...
