Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the role of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCAT) as a potential marker of inflammation in coronary artery disease by analyzing data from 466 patients who underwent coronary CT angiography (CCTA).
- - Findings revealed that PCAT measurements varied significantly between calcified and soft plaques, showing a positive association with total and non-calcified plaque burdens, while being negatively linked to calcified plaque burden.
- - The research concluded that PCAT had a more pronounced effect on plaque characteristics in the absence of different plaque types, indicating its potential importance in understanding coronary artery disease progression.
