Correlation of Sarcopenia with Coronary Artery Disease Severity and Pericoronary Adipose Tissue Attenuation: A Coronary CT Study.
Objective: To investigate the association between sarcopenia, as appraised with CT-derived muscle metrics, and cardiovascular status, as assessed via coronary CT angiography (CCTA) using the Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) and with pericoronary adipose tissue (pCAT) metrics.
Methods: A retrospective observational study conducted on patients who underwent CCTA. The cross-sectional area (CSA) and attenuation values of the paravertebral muscles at the T8 level and the pectoralis major muscles at the T6 level were measured. The patient height was employed for the normalization of the skeletal muscle CSA. The pCAT attenuation around the coronary arteries was assessed, and the CAD severity was graded using the CAD-RADS reporting system. Regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of demographics, clinical factors, and CT variables on the CAD-RADS and pCAT.
Results: A total of 220 patients were included (132 males, median age 65 years). Regression analyses showed the associations of CAD with age and sex (p < 0.001). Familiarity with CAD was related to the left anterior descending artery pCAT (p = 0.002) and circumflex artery pCAT (p = 0.018), whereas age was related to the left anterior descending artery pCAT (p = 0.032). Weak positive correlations were found between the lower muscle density and lower pCAT attenuation (ρ = 0.144-0.240, p < 0.039).
Conclusions: This study demonstrated weak associations between the sarcopenia indicators and the cardiovascular risk, as assessed by the CAD severity and pCAT inflammation. However, these correlations were not strong predictors of CAD severity, as age and traditional cardiovascular risk factors overshadowed the impact of sarcopenia in the cardiovascular risk assessment.

期刊介绍:
TomographyTM publishes basic (technical and pre-clinical) and clinical scientific articles which involve the advancement of imaging technologies. Tomography encompasses studies that use single or multiple imaging modalities including for example CT, US, PET, SPECT, MR and hyperpolarization technologies, as well as optical modalities (i.e. bioluminescence, photoacoustic, endomicroscopy, fiber optic imaging and optical computed tomography) in basic sciences, engineering, preclinical and clinical medicine.
Tomography also welcomes studies involving exploration and refinement of contrast mechanisms and image-derived metrics within and across modalities toward the development of novel imaging probes for image-based feedback and intervention. The use of imaging in biology and medicine provides unparalleled opportunities to noninvasively interrogate tissues to obtain real-time dynamic and quantitative information required for diagnosis and response to interventions and to follow evolving pathological conditions. As multi-modal studies and the complexities of imaging technologies themselves are ever increasing to provide advanced information to scientists and clinicians.
Tomography provides a unique publication venue allowing investigators the opportunity to more precisely communicate integrated findings related to the diverse and heterogeneous features associated with underlying anatomical, physiological, functional, metabolic and molecular genetic activities of normal and diseased tissue. Thus Tomography publishes peer-reviewed articles which involve the broad use of imaging of any tissue and disease type including both preclinical and clinical investigations. In addition, hardware/software along with chemical and molecular probe advances are welcome as they are deemed to significantly contribute towards the long-term goal of improving the overall impact of imaging on scientific and clinical discovery.
