Key result
Adding pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation to CCTA improves MACCE prediction in patients with diabetes.
Why the study?
Does the addition of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation to coronary CT angiography improve the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease?
Does the addition of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation to coronary CT angiography improve the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease?
Perivascular fat attenuation index on coronary CT angiography provides incremental prognostic value for predicting major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in diabetic patients with coronary artery disease.
May refine risk stratification on coronary CTA in diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
The addition of pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation to conventional and advanced coronary CT angiography findings improved the prediction of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events in individuals with diabetes mellitus.
