Association Between Carotid Artery Perivascular Fat Density and Cerebrovascular Ischemic Events

摘要

BackgroundStudies have shown that pericoronary artery inflammation can be accurately detected via increased attenuation on computed tomography. Our purpose was to evaluate the association between pericarotid inflammation, measured by density of carotid perivascular fat on computed tomography angiography, with stroke and transient ischemic attack.
