简介
Background
Recent studies suggested that perivascular components, such as perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) and adventitial vasa vasorum (VV), play an important role as a source of various inflammatory mediators in cardiovascular disease.
Objectives
The authors tested their hypothesis that coronary artery spasm is associated with perivascular inflammation in patients with vasospastic angina (VSA) using 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT).
Methods
This study prospectively examined 27 consecutive VSA patients with acetylcholine-induced diffuse spasm in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and 13 subjects with suspected angina but without organic coronary lesions or coronary spasm. Using CT coronary angiography and electrocardiogram-gated 18F-FDG PET/CT, coronary PVAT volume and coronary perivascular FDG uptake in the LAD …
