The Perivascular Fat Attenuation Index Improves the Diagnostic Performance for Functional Coronary Stenosis [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Background: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an established first-line test in the investigation of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), while the perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) derived from CT seems to be a ...

Perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) on computed tomography coronary angiography reclassifies individual cardiovascular risk estimation [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiology. Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention
Background: The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) detects and quantifies coronary inflammation by measuring phenotypic changes in perivascular adipose tissue by using computed tomography coronary angiography images.

Perivascular fat attenuation index measured by coronary computed tomography angiography as a tool for assessment of ischaemia-causing lesions: a case report [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2023
Background It can be difficult to diagnose coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome if coronary angiography does not identify stenosis. Coronary inflammation, which can contribute to the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and

Predictive value of the perivascular fat attenuation index for MACE in young people suspected of CAD [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Objective The perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) evaluated by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has been reported to have strong prognostic value, but few studies have focused on young people.

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 ...

Integrated CT-derived fractional flow reserve and perivascular fat attenuation index: a multimodal approach to predict in-stent restenosis [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundA significant proportion of patients develop in-stent restenosis (ISR) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation, adversely impacting long-term outcomes.

Perivascular Fat: A Novel Risk Factor for Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Diagnostics
Perivascular 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

Perivascular adipose tissue and vascular inflammation: from biological insights to clinical implications [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has emerged as an active paracrine and metabolic organ that modulates vascular function in both humans and rodents, rather than serving merely as structural support.

Improving Risk Stratification for Transient Ischaemic Attacks and Ischaemic Stroke in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Combined Radiomics Analysis of Multimodal Adipose Tissue [PDF]

Diagnostics
Background/Objectives: Patients with combined cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease face poorer prognoses. Early, accurate assessment of the risk of cerebral ischaemic events (including transient ischaemic attacks (TIAs) and ischaemic strokes (ISs))
