USEFULNESS OF PERICORONARY FAT RATIO AS A STRONG PREDICTOR FOR CORONARY PLAQUE VULNERABILITY COMPARED TO EPICARDIAL ADIPOSE TISSUE MEASURED BY CORONARY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY ANGIOGRAPHY

In multivariate logistic analysis, the third tertile of pericoronary fat ratio (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.19-9.94, p = 0.02) was the independent predictor for high risk plaque on CCTA after adjusting for age, gender, known CAD and LDL cholesterol, while mean EAT thickness was not (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.72-1...

Summary:In multivariate logistic analysis, the third tertile of pericoronary fat ratio (OR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.19-9.94, p = 0.02) was the independent predictor for high risk plaque on CCTA after adjusting for age, gender, known CAD and LDL cholesterol, while mean EAT thickness was not (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 0.72-1.57, p = 0.76).
