Relationship between pericoronary fat attenuation index and quantitative plaque components in newly identified coronary plaques
FAI was found to interact with the volume and components of newly formed coronary plaques, especially the necrotic core. A higher baseline FAI was associated with necrotic core formation, and the development of necrotic cores further increased FAI. Conversely, the formation of fibrous components appeared to mitigate the increase in FAI.
