Impact of visceral fat on coronary artery disease as defined by quantitative computed tomography angiography
CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate progression with regard to VF and TPV, NCP volume, and LD-NCP volume. Notably, there was a progression of VF and amount of LD-NCP, which is known to be high risk for future cardiovascular events. A consistent progression may indicate the future utility of VF in CVD risk stratification.PMID:37559558 | DOI:10.1002/oby.23804

Association of visceral adiposity index with asymptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis: a population-based study in Shandong, China
CONCLUSIONS: The possible correlation between VAI and aICAS was found to be positive for the first time among Chinese rural residents over 40 years old. A higher VAI was found to be significantly associated with aICAS among the participants who were underweight or normal weight, and these results may provide additional risk stratification information for aICAS.PMID:37198613 | DOI:10.1186/s12944-023-01831-1

Deep-Learning for Epicardial Adipose Tissue Assessment With Computed  Tomography: Implications for Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
CONCLUSIONS: Automated assessment of EAT volume is possible in CCTA, including in patients who are technically challenging; it forms a powerful marker of metabolically unhealthy visceral obesity, which could be used for cardiovascular risk stratification.PMID:36881425 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcmg.2022.11.018

Computed Tomography Angiography Quantification of Intracranial and Extracranial Vascular Narrowing in Ischemic Stroke: Differences Between Patients With and Without Illicit Drug Use
Objective Previous studies have linked illicit drug consumption and stroke. The purpose of this study is to identify specific imaging findings depicted on computed tomography angiography on patients with illicit drug-associated stroke. Methods This is a retrospective case-control study that included ischemic stroke patients. Subjects who tested positive for cocaine or marijuana were considered as cases, while patients who tested negative were included as controls. Matching of the controls was carried out based on the presence of stroke risk factors. A previously validated scale was used to calculate narrowing sc...

Combined use of the GRACE ACS risk score and comorbidity indices to increase the effectiveness of hospital mortality risk assessment in patients with acute coronary syndrome
CONCLUSION: CCI and its own comorbidity model, but not CDS and CIRS, are associated with the risk of hospital mortality. The model for assessing comorbidity on a 9-point scale, but not CCI, CDS and CIRS, can significantly improve the predictive value of the GRACE scale.PMID:36286937 | DOI:10.26442/00403660.2022.07.201742

Computed Tomography Angiography Quantification of Intracranial and Extracranial Vascular Narrowing in Ischemic Stroke: Differences Between Patients With and Without Illicit Drug Use
CONCLUSIONS: By using computed tomography angiography, we found that stroke patients with history of cocaine consumption had a higher incidence of intracranial circulation narrowing compared with matched controls.PMID:36055121 | DOI:10.1097/RCT.0000000000001367

Design, methods and baseline characteristics of the Beijing Hospital Atherosclerosis Study: a prospective dynamic cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: This study has successfully initiated an investigation into the roles of new biosignatures in predicting CAD among Chinese Han patients undergoing CAG. To the best of our knowledge, this cohort is the first study systematically focusing on the association of lifestyle biomarkers and biological age with CAD risk. Findings from this study will provide biomarkers to discriminate the presence of CAD and to predict subsequent cardiovascular events.PMID:35965802 | PMC:PMC9372652 | DOI:10.21037/atm-22-2834

Premature acute coronary syndrome: understanding the early onset
Introduction Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is less frequent in young adults, but it has become a significant health problem, associated with the increasing prevalence of modifiable risk factors. Objectives To characterize patients admitted with premature ACS, comparing with those with nonpremature ACS. Methods We performed a retrospective study encompassing patients of the Portuguese Registry (ProACS), comparing two groups: one composed of men less than 55 and women less than 65 years old; and other with men ≥55 and women ≥65 years old at the ACS admission. The primary endpoint was the composite o...

426 Impact Of Visceral Abdominal Tissue On Coronary Artery Disease As Defined By Quantitative Computed Tomographic Angiography
This study aims to clarify the relationship between the presence and severity of VAT with the presence and severity of coronary artery plaque as defined by total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, and high risk low-density non-calcified plaque using quantitative coronary computed tomography atherosclerosis imaging (AI-QCT).
