Abstract excerpt
Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation from coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an imaging biomarker of coronary inflammation. Experimental evidence suggests that sympathetic activation and norepinephrine (NE) can alter perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) composition. Whether NE stress reactivity relates to PVAT phenotype, as reflected by PCAT attenuation, or varies by chronic stress...
