Value of Ultrahigh‐Resolution Photon‐Counting Detector Computed Tomography in Cardiac Imaging

Echocardiography, Volume 42, Issue 2, February 2025.
Photon‐counting detector computed tomography (PCD‐CT) represents a big leap forward in non‐invasive cardiac assessment over conventional standard resolution energy‐integrating detector (EID)‐CTs. This new detector technology enables ultrahigh‐resolution (UHR) imaging at resolutions of up to 0.2 mm.

Associations between the serum triglyceride-glucose index and pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and plaque features using dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2023
Background and aimsThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a reliable alternative marker for insulin resistance (IR). Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) can indirectly reflect coronary inflammation.

Comparative Prognostic Value of Coronary Calcium Score and Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index in Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading global cause of mortality, accounting for approximately 30% of all deaths. It is primarily characterized by the accumulation of atherosclerotic plaques within the coronary arteries, leading to reduced blood ...

miRNA and leptin signaling in metabolic diseases and at extreme environments

Pharmacology Research &Perspectives, Volume 12, Issue 4, August 2024.
Abstract The burden of growing concern about the dysregulation of metabolic processes arises due to complex interplay between environment and nutrition that has great impact on genetics and epigenetics of an individual. Thereby, any abnormality at the level of food intake regulating hormones may contribute to the development of metabolic diseases in ...

The Plaque Analysis Classifies the Coronary Artery Disease‐Reporting and Data System (CAD‐RADS) Stenosis and Plaque Burden Categories: Association of the Plaque Features, Fat Attenuation Index, Coronary Computed Tomography Fractional Flow Reserve, and the Combination of Stenosis and Calcification

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 47, Issue 6, June 2024.
Computed tomography fractional flow reserve, volume and proportion of lipid and fibro‐lipid components of plaques, proportion of calcified components, and plaque type were valuable for coronary artery disease‐reporting and data system stenosis + plaque burden classification.

Novel imaging biomarkers: epicardial adipose tissue evaluation [PDF]

, 2019
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a metabolically activated beige adipose tissue, non-homogeneously surrounding the myocardium. Physiologically, EAT regulates toxic fatty acids, protects the coronary arteries against mechanical strain, regulates ...

Association between metformin treatment and coronary artery inflammation based on pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients

The Journal of Clinical Hypertension, Volume 26, Issue 4, Page 330-337, April 2024.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. The role of metformin in reducing cardiovascular events is well‐established, but its effect on coronary artery inflammation in T2DM patients is still unclear.
