Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation expressed by fat attenuation index (FAI) on coronary CT angiography (CCTA) reflects pericoronary inflammation and is associated with cardiac mortality. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to define the sub-phenotypes of coronary CCTA-defined plaque and whole vessel quantification by unsupervised machine learning (ML) and its prognostic impact when combined with...
