| Core Tip |
This study reveals significantly increased pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation (PCATa) in the proximal segments of the left anterior descending, left circumflex, and right coronary arteries in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, particularly those with ischemia with non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). PCATa serves as an independent imaging biomarker for identifying INOCA and demonstrated superior diagnostic performance compared with conventional clinical indicators. The combination of PCATa and clinical parameters further improves diagnostic accuracy. These results highlight the potential value of coronary computed tomography angiography-derived PCATa in early risk stratification and noninvasive identification of INOCA in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. |
