Abstract Purpose of Review Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) has a complex, bidirectional
relationship with the vascular wall. In disease states, PVAT secretes pro-inflammatory …

Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is hypothesized to alter atherosclerotic plaque
composition, with potential development of high‐risk plaque (HRP). EAT can be measured …

Importance Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) computed tomography (CT) attenuation
measured from coronary CT angiography (CTA) may be a promising metric in identifying …

Background We investigated whether epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume and density
are related to early atherosclerosis, plaque inflammation and major adverse cardiac events …

Aims Vascular inflammation inhibits local adipogenesis in pericoronary adipose tissue
(PCAT) and this can be detected on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) …

Normal health, reproduction, and survival are dependent on the availability of lipids. Lipids
function as structural elements of cell membranes and lipoproteins,“sensing” molecules …

Background We sought to evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and
computed tomography (CT)-derived cardiometabolic biomarkers (non-alcoholic fatty liver …

Background and aims Density may indicate some tissue characteristics and help reveal the
role of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in coronary artery disease (CAD). Therefore, we …

Objectives To determine normal pericoronary adipose tissue mean attenuation (PCAT MA)
values for left the anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), and right coronary artery …

The observation of correlations between obesity and chronic metabolic and cardiovascular
diseases has led to the emergence of strong interests in “adipocyte biology”, in particular in …
