Key result
Study evaluates pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation for diagnostic and prognostic performance in suspected ACS.
Why the study?
The diagnostic and prognostic value of coronary CT angiography markers, including pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and low-attenuation plaque burden, in suspected acute coronary syndrome was uncertain.
Do coronary CT angiography markers (pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and low-attenuation plaque burden) have diagnostic and prognostic value in individuals with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Do coronary CT angiography markers (pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and low-attenuation plaque burden) have diagnostic and prognostic value in individuals with suspected acute coronary syndrome?
Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and low-attenuation plaque burden on coronary CTA have limited utility for diagnosis and prognosis in suspected acute coronary syndrome.
May enhance risk stratification in suspected ACS; leaves open incremental value over standard markers in prospective cohorts.
Coronary CT angiography markers, including pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation and low-attenuation plaque burden, showed limited diagnostic and prognostic value in individuals with suspected acute coronary syndrome.
