Modern coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the gold standard to visualize
the epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT). The EAT is a …

Vascular inflammation is a key driver in atherosclerotic progression and plaque rupture.
Recent evidence has shown that coronary computed tomography provides a noninvasive …

Background Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation and low-attenuation
noncalcified plaque (LAP) burden can both predict outcomes. Objectives This study sought …

Background: Type 2 myocardial infarction is caused by myocardial oxygen supply-demand
imbalance, and its diagnosis is increasingly common with the advent of high-sensitivity …

Aims Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a first-line modality in the
investigation of suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Mapping of perivascular fat …

Background The association between the change in vessel inflammation, as quantified by
perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) density, and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis …

Background: A pathophysiological interplay exists between plaque morphology and
coronary physiology. Machine learning (ML) is increasingly being applied to coronary …

Background The ability to characterize and to quantify the extent of coronary artery disease
has the potential to improve the prognostic capability of coronary computed tomography …

A large body of evidence arising from recent randomized clinical trials demonstrate the
association of vascular inflammatory mediators with coronary artery disease (CAD) …

Aims To examine pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) and periaortic adipose tissue (PAAT)
density on coronary computed tomography angiography for assessing arterial inflammation …
