TCT-299 Association of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Inflammation as Assessed by FDG PET-CT with Angiographic Coronary Artery Disease

Patients with angiographic CAD(n=19) had higher TBR for EAT to PAT(3.57±1.88 vs 2.29±0.73;p=0.09) compared to those without CAD(n=7) but the difference was insignificant due to small number of patients in this study.Among patients with CAD, those presenting with myocardial infarction(MI) during inde...

Description
Summary:	Patients with angiographic CAD(n=19) had higher TBR for EAT to PAT(3.57±1.88 vs 2.29±0.73;p=0.09) compared to those without CAD(n=7) but the difference was insignificant due to small number of patients in this study.Among patients with CAD, those presenting with myocardial infarction(MI) during index angiography had significantly higher TBR compared to those without MI (5.29±2.25 vs 2.95±1.33; p=0.012).
