Prospective Associations of Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Computed Tomography Attenuation with Coronary Plaque Features and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in a Population with Diabetes Mellitus.

The article discusses a clinical trial, NCT06644651, focusing on inflammation in the arteries of the heart in individuals with type 2 diabetes. The study uses a heart CT scan to measure inflammation by examining the fat tissue surrounding the heart arteries. The research aims to determine if inflammation in the fat tissue can predict plaque characteristics, the development of cardiovascular events, and major adverse cardiovascular events over a 7-year follow-up period. The study involves cardiovascular asymptomatic participants with type 2 diabetes and examines various outcomes related to inflammation, plaque features, and cardiovascular events.
