Vessel Distribution Of Coronary Artery Calcium From Gated CT And Low-dose Ungated CT Imaging Does Not Improve The Prediction Of MACE In Patients Referred For SPECT
Introduction: Vessel distribution of coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been reported to improve prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over CAC score alone. We aimed to investigate whether the number of vessels with CAC improves the prediction of MACE in patients undergoing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging.

Prognostic Significance Of Automated Epicardial Adipose Tissue Quantification From Lung Cancer Screening CT
Introduction: Heavy smokers are at high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Routine lung cancer screening chest computed tomography (CT)-based quantification of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) may help stratify CV risk beyond clinical risk factors and coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. We investigated the prognostic value of EAT volume and density measured automatically from low-dose non-ECG-gated non-contrast chest CT for lung cancer screening on all-cause and CV mortality.

Cardiac Ct Evaluation Of Post-infarction Intramyocardial Fat: A Critical Marker Of Adverse Lv Remodeling
Introduction: Post-infarction intramyocardial fat (PIF) is a relatively rare finding on cardiac computed tomography (CT) imaging but has been increasingly recognized as an indicator of poor prognosis in patients with ischemic heart disease. PIF appears as areas of low attenuation within the myocardium and has been associated with a higher risk of adverse cardiovascular events, heart failure and sudden cardiac death especially in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. Recently, intramyocardial fat has been associated with fatal tachyarrhythmias in post-reperfused ischemic heart disease. (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Prediction Ability Of Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index For Coronary In-stent Restenosis: A Pilot Study
Introduction: The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) reflects the local coronary inflammation which is one of major mechanisms for in-stent restenosis (ISR). We aimed to validate the ability of pericoronary FAI to predict subsequent ISR in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). (Source: Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography)

Age And Sex Distribution Of Left Ventricular Mass Index Measured On Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography And Its Association With Mortality Risk
Introduction: Left ventricular (LV) mass is a well-established prognostic indicator for cardiovascular disease risk. LV mass can be measured on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), regardless of mode of acquisition or phase of the cycle imaged; however, its measurement and reporting are considered optional. We aimed to establish the associations between LV mass measured on CCTA with all-cause mortality (ACM) risk and to determine age and sex-specific distribution of LV myocardial mass.
