Abstract: Recent studies reported the association between elevated fat attenuation index (FAI) of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) on coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and worse cardiac outcomes. We investigated the prognostic value of increased FAI-defined coronary… read more here.

Abstract: Background The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) is a novel imaging biomarker of coronary inflammation, which is closely related to development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are limited reports on whether… read more here.
