Why the study?
The study aimed to evaluate the clinical value of pericoronary adipose tissue FAI and CT-FFR in predicting coronary revascularization.
Do FAI and CT-FFR improve the prediction of coronary revascularization compared to standard CCTA in patients with known or suspected ACS?
Population
94 patients with known or suspected ACS who underwent CCTA and subsequent ICA
Comparison
Addition of FAI and CT-FFR vs standard CCTA analysis
Design
Observational cohort study with blinded core laboratory analysis

FAI and CT-FFR may aid revascularization prediction in ACS; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Do FAI and CT-FFR improve the prediction of coronary revascularization compared to standard CCTA in patients with known or suspected ACS?
The addition of CT-FFR and FAI to standard CCTA significantly improves the prediction of future coronary revascularization in patients with known or suspected ACS.
