The value of cardiac CT based inflammatory risk assessment in predicting cardiovascular events: a case report
The utilization of perivascular FAI Score and AI-Risk algorithm to capture inflammatory risk and predict future events beyond the current clinical risk stratification and CCTA interpretation, especially in the absence of obstructive CAD, could offer an important adjunct to current strategies in preventive cardiology, pending further validation. In this case report, our patient's management plan could have been adjusted had these technologies been available during initial evaluation, and the high inflammatory burden of the non-grafted RCA was timely captured.
