Abstrakt:	Background: Increased pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation derived from coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) relates to coronary inflammation and cardiac mortality. We aimed to investigate the association between CT-derived characterization of different cardiac fat compartments and myocardial ischemia as assessed by computed fractional flow reserve (FFRCT). Methods: In all, 133 patients (median 64 y, 74% male) with coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent CTA including FFRCT measurement followed by invasive FFR assessment (FFRINVASIVE). CT attenuation and volume of PCAT were quantified around the proximal right coronary artery (RCA), left anterior descending artery (LAD), and left circumflex artery (LCX). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and paracardial adipose tissue (PAT; all intrathoracic adipose tissue outside the pericardium) were quantified in noncontrast cardiac CT datasets. Results: Median FFRCT was 0.86 [0.79, 0.91] and median FFRINVASIVE was 0.87 [0.81, 0.93]. Subjects with the presence of myocardial ischemia (n=26) defined by an FFRCT-threshold of ≤0.75 showed significantly higher RCA PCAT attenuation than individuals without myocardial ischemia (n=107) (-75.1±10.8 vs. -81.1±10.6 HU, P=0.011). In multivariable analysis adjusted for age, body mass index, sex and risk factors, increased RCA PCAT attenuation remained a significant predictor of myocardial ischemia. Between individuals with myocardial ischemia compared with individuals without myocardial ischemia, there was no significant difference in the volume and CT attenuation of EAT and PAT or in the PCAT volume of RCA, LAD, and LCX. Conclusions: Increased RCA PCAT attenuation is associated with the presence of myocardial ischemia as assessed by FFR, while PCAT volume, EAT, and PAT are not.
