Impact of Glycemic Control on Coronary Inflammation Evaluated by Computed Tomography Pericoronary Fat Attenuation Index in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Coronary inflammation causes significantly increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients. This study investigated the relationship between coronary local inflammation, detected by pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI), and different blood glucose control levels in low-risk acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with or without diabetes.

Methods

A total of 309 patients with low-risk ACS were classified into three groups: non-diabetes, well-regulated diabetes, and poorly regulated diabetes. Pericoronary FAI around the proximal or left anterior descending artery (LAD), left circumflex artery (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA), were evaluated by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), and systemic inflammatory variables and other
