Abstract Aims Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation, assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is a biomarker of coronary inflammation. Mean PCAT attenuation ≥ −70.5 Hounsfield Units (HU) corresponds to elevated inflammation and a higher future risk of myocardial infarction.
