Abstract
To investigate whether perivascular fat attenuation index (FAI) provides an incremental prognostic value of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients, consecutive 1029 DM patients who underwent CCTA were included in this prospective study. The conventional CCTA findings, advanced CCTA findings and perivascular FAI of three coronary arteries were evaluated. Of 1029 patients (60.9±9.9 years, 52.5% male), 152 (14.8%) suffered from MACE during a median follow-up of 56.5 months. After adjustment for age, sex, hyperlipidemia, CACS, Leiden score, presence of high-risk plaques, CT-FFR and tube voltage, FAI remained an independent predictor of MACE. FAI was of incremental prognostic value in DM patients beyond clinical characteristics and adverse CCTA findings.
