Atrial fibrillation (AF) can often be triggered by an inflammatory substrate. Perivascular inflammation may be assessed nowadays using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) imaging. The new pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI HU) and the FAI Score have prognostic value for predicting future cardiovascular events. Our purpose was to investigate the correlation between pericoronary fat inflammation and the presence of AF among patients with coronary artery disease.
