Atrial Fibrillation and Peri-Atrial Inflammation Measured through Adipose Tissue Attenuation on Cardiac Computed Tomography

Atrial Fibrillation and Peri-Atrial Inflammation Measured through Adipose Tissue Attenuation on Cardiac Computed Tomography

Background: Inflammation plays a key role in atrial fibrillation (AF). Epicardial adipose tissue around the atrial wall can influence atrial morpho-functional properties. The aim of this study was to assess whether an increased quantity and/or density of adipose tissue located around the left atrium...
