Assessing the Impact of Long-Term High-Dose Statin Treatment on Pericoronary Inflammation and Plaque Distribution—A Comprehensive Coronary CTA Follow-Up Study

Assessing the Impact of Long-Term High-Dose Statin Treatment on Pericoronary Inflammation and Plaque Distribution—A Comprehensive Coronary CTA Follow-Up Study

Computed tomography angiography (CTA) has validated the use of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) attenuation as a credible indicator of coronary inflammation, playing a crucial role in coronary artery disease (CAD). This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effects of high-dose statins on PCAT att...
