Additive value of epicardial adipose tissue quantification to coronary CT angiography-derived plaque characterization and CT fractional flow reserve for the prediction of lesion-specific ischemia: cardiac

Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) from coronary CT angiography (CCTA) is strongly associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). We investigated the additive value of EAT volume to coronary plaque quantification and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) to predict lesion-specific ischemia.
